Doh! for me....that works. Thanks guys.
This turns the email into a dev topic now, but that sounds like a good idea to create
the directory if it doesn't already exist. I can't see any reason why you wouldn't
want to do it - you don't even have to worry about checking the append attribute
either, since you would know you're not overwriting anything. If it's not in the
latest source code already, I'll try adding it.

Is that directory (dude) present?
I'm doing the same, and although I didn't notice the error (because it went
to system.out), I did notice that I wasn't getting any log files created.
When I created the subdirectory, it worked.
Maybe the creation of the directory, if it isn't present on the filesystem,
could be added to this appender...
I'm doing this in some other code, it's as simple as this:
if (!outputDir.exists()) {
outputDir.mkdirs();
}

Subject: specify path in File param on windows?
Has anyone else had problems on windows NT specifying a path in the File
parameter of an appender?
For example, if I try the following code in a config file:
<appender name="foo" class="bar">
<param name="File" value="logs/blah.log" />
....
I get the following error:
log4j:ERROR setFile(null,true) call failed.
java.io.FileNotFoundException: dude/siteUsage.log (The system cannot find
the pathen specified)
-------------
Things work fine if I just specify a filename in the value attribute.
I'm using version 1.0.4. I didn't see any bug fixes about this mentioned in
the HISTORY of version 1.1b1, so I thought I'd ask first to see if this
really is a problem.
Thanks,
