Alfresco 3.4a alfresco.log stored in wrong location

captnbob — Thu, 04 Nov 2010 21:32:19 GMT

Hi all. Installing Alfresco 3.4a, the alfresco.log file ended up being written to / (root directory) on the server.This seems incorrect.To correct this, I edited this file: /opt/alfresco-3.4a/tomcat/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/log4j.propertiesThe log appender entry was this: log4j.appender.

Not enough, I think, for 4.0.d. Even after configuring the file:
/opt/alfresco-4.0.d/tomcat/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/log4j.properties
some logging continued to happen at root directory. Most annoying, because now it logs in 2 places simultaneously.
I found out that there is another file:
/opt/alfresco-4.0.d/tomcat/webapps/share/WEB-INF/classes/log4j.properties
with the same use. I edited this accordingly and I'll watch the behavior for a few days. Then I'll come back to announce the results.

Starting from Alfresco community 4.2.a the file:
…/tomcat/webapps/share/WEB-INF/classes/log4j.properties
must be configured accordingly in order for the share.log to be in the right place.

Ok, here is another one: the file solr.log, wandering around the filesystem.
The conf file needed to be changed is this:
…/tomcat/work/Catalina/localhost/solr/WEB-INF/classes/log4j.properties

Actually, the correct path to log4j-solr.properties is alfresco/alf_data/solr
the Tomcat's work directory is it's "work" directory, so it's not reliable for data persistency.
