This also works :
   log4j.appender.fileLog.file=D:/temp/Logging/mylog.log

I got this working by escaping the directory name as follows:

log4j.appender.R.file=D:\\WSAD5.1\\Logs\\weblog.log

Subject:	RE: Specifying Different Location for Log File

	Hello,

        I'm using log4j in a struts application. I'd like to specify a
different location for the log file. Presently, the log file is written to
the $[WSAD_ROOT] which is C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere
Studio\Application Developer\v5.1. I have specified different location in
the log4j.properties file but it does not write to the specified location.
Is there a way to do this in log4j? I have gone through the log4j API, FAQ
and documentation and I did not see any entry regarding writing log file
to a different location. I'm I missing something?
	Below is a sample entry in the log4j.properties file:

        log4j.appender.R=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
        log4j.appender.R.maxBackupIndex=1
        log4j.appender.R.append=true
        log4j.appender.R.bufferSize=8192
        log4j.appender.R.file=weblog.log
        log4j.appender.R.bufferedIO=false
        log4j.appender.R.immediateFlush=true
        log4j.appender.R.maximumFileSize=102400
        log4j.appender.R.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
        log4j.appender.R.layout.conversionPattern=%d [%t] %-5p %c %M.%L %x -
%m%n
        log4j.appender.R.layout.contentType=text/plain
        # stdout is set to Consoleappender
        log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
        # stdout uses PatternLayout
        log4j.appender.stdout.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
        log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=%d [%t] %-5p %c -
%m%n
        log4j.rootCategory=DEBUG, R, stdout
    What I would like to be able to do is to specify a different
location for the file property:
        log4j.appender.R.file=d:\logs\weblog.log
	Any insight into how to go about this will be appreciated.
