I ve run my rails project by creating 3 instance using mongrel cluster

mongrel\_rails cluster::configure -p 8000 -n 3

now my project running three consequent ports like 8000,8001,8002  
ports  
i am using rails version —\>2.1.1

on the first day no problem in creating logfilename.log for running  
all 3 ports.

Problem is ,

on next day when application is running in 1st instance its creating a  
backup of logfilename.log as file\_previous\_date.log when same rails  
project running at the 2nd instance (port 8001) on the that day.

```
     The following error occurred ,

    Logger::ShiftingError in controller
    Shifting failed. closed stream

```

Could any one give a solution for this problem

Thanx in advance
