Hi Sujatha, You can use org.apache.log4j.helpers.LogLog#setQuietMode(boolean mode) to turn off error traces.
However, IMHO, there should be a mean to catch internal Log4J exceptions, for instance, in your case, to try an alternate socket server, or to disable the appender. A possible future improvement...

I get this error whenever my socket server is not running. I want to suppress this error. How can I do it, is there any easy way to do this from the configuration file itself ? Please let me know. Thanks, Sujatha. ----------- log4j:ERROR Could not connect to remote log4j server at [localhost].
