It would help if you could post the errors you're getting.

Let me know if you need the whole thing. It's on a Linux box so not easily ported to my PC. Basically I get in the tomcat 6 log:

log4j: ERROR setFile(null,true) call failed.
java.io.FileNotFoundException: alfresco.log (Permission denied)
at java.io.FileOutputStream.openAppend(Native Method)
….

Let me know if you need more.

Thanks.

The error is from log4j rather than alfresco.

Are you running alfresco as root or another account?

Check the permissions of the "alfresco.log" file and make sure that the account running alfresco has write permissions to the log file.
