Replace the following code in config\log-config.xml -

Existing code shown in your log-config.xml for the Server.log appender -

<appender name="Server" class="org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender">

<param name="File" value="../log/server.log"/>

<param name="Append" value="false"/>

<param name="Encoding" value="UTF-8"/>

<param name="MaxBackupIndex" value="5"/>

<param name="MaxFileSize" value="500KB"/>

<layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">

     <param name="ConversionPattern" 

                            value="%d{ISO8601},%t,%-5p, %c{2} - %m%n"/>

</layout>

</appender>

Change the above code to(Append value = true) -

<appender name="Server" class="org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender">

<param name="File" value="../log/server.log"/>

<param name="Append" value="true"/>

<param name="Encoding" value="UTF-8"/>

<param name="MaxBackupIndex" value="5"/>

<param name="MaxFileSize" value="500KB"/>

<layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">

     <param name="ConversionPattern" 

                            value="%d{ISO8601},%t,%-5p, %c{2} - %m%n"/>

</layout>

</appender>
