This is weird. I had it working two hours ago with /web/WEB-INF/logs/debug.log as my output path. Now it's not working!!! I have to use the absolute path to make logging working for now. Also it seems that if I use the relative path /web/debug.log or just debug.log, things worke fine, but that's not where I want it to go to.
Could the same server invoke things differently? Man, what's the deal with setFile() anyway? Why it cannot create the path dirs if the path doesn't exist? -----Original Message----- From: Shapira, Yoav [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, December 11, 2003 10:44 AM To: Log4J Users List Subject: RE: Log output path problem Howdy, You need to specify the absolute path or use an environment variable, such as one set to the server's home. Your current specification is relative to the current working directory of the server, which varies depending on how the server is invoked.
