The server debug log seems to get cleared each time the Service starts.  Is there a setting so that it doesn't restart the log, but just appends to what is already there?
 
Thanks,
 
Greg

Greg, I've verfied in the source code that if the archiveLogs in the app.config is set to true, the logging class will keep multiple log files; at initialization, it will attempt to rename the old log file to use the current timestamp, and if it cannot do so (because of a file log, for example), will create and use a new file with a numeric extension to its name. If archiveLogs is set to false, it deletes the old file before it begins the new one.

In neither case does it append to the existing file.

If your logging information is being lost with each restart, you may have this setting set to false. If that doesn't seem to be the case, would you please let me know?
