Configure logfile location

decla

Hi,

Is it possible to change the location of alfresco.log (maybe to '/var/log/alfresco.log') without modifying log4j.properties in alfresco.war file?
I read something about a dev-log4j.properties file, which should be put under '$TOMCAT_HOME/shared/classes/alfresco/extension/'.
As we are using jboss i put the dev-log4j.properties under 'server/default/conf/alfresco/extension/', but the new config value seems not to take effect.

Environment: JBOSS 5.1.0GA, Alfresco 3.2 on RedHat

Sincerely,
decla

I found out, that the content of '*-log4j.properties' in 'alfresco/extension/' must look like this:

log4j.rootLogger=error, File

log4j.appender.File=org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.File.File=/var/log/alfresco/alfresco.log
log4j.appender.File.Append=true
log4j.appender.File.DatePattern='.'yyyy-MM-dd
log4j.appender.File.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.File.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{ABSOLUTE} %-5p [%c] %m%n‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Its not enough to configure:

log4j.appender.File.File=/var/log/alfresco/alfresco.log‍

Now most of log output is stored in '/var/log/alfresco/alfresco.log', expect the following lines…

06:08:07,607 INFO  [org.alfresco.config.JndiPropertiesFactoryBean] Loading properties file from …
06:08:07,609 INFO  [org.alfresco.config.JndiPropertiesFactoryBean] Loading properties file from …

I found that out too. I would prefer to just override the file location value and have it get the rest from whatever is in the war file. Since it doesn't, I copy the whole file out of ../webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/log4j.properties and copy it to the ../alfresco/extension/custom-log4j.properties and then change the file location property in that file.

This is a pain in the neck.
