Is the properties file called log4j.properties? That's the default name that it's expecting. If you want to call it something else you'll need to set system property like: log4j.configuration=file:/temp/myconfig.xyz#com.myCompany.myConfigurator See the Default Initialisation Procedure chapter in: http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/docs/manual.html Thanks Nigel -- Nigel Ramsay [EMAIL PROTECTED] Enterprise Java Consultant +44 20 7545 1590 Global Markets Research Deutsche Bank London, UK ---------------------------------------- Message History ---------------------------------------- From: rao srinivas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> on 07/09/2001 04:40 MST Please respond to "LOG4J Users Mailing List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: Subject: error in properties file, help me please...please..please..please Hi experts, here is my properties file, which is in Web-inf/classes: log4j.rootCategory=R log4j.appender.R=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender log4j.appender.R.File=logtags.log log4j.appender.R.MaxFileSize=100KB log4j.appender.R.MaxBackupIndex=2 log4j.appender.R.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout log4j.appender.R.layout.ConversionPattern=%p %t %c - %m%n I am getting the following error: log4j:ERROR No appenders could be found for category (root). log4j:ERROR Please initialize the log4j system properly.
