Hello,

what kind of message do you see in the Tomcat logs? It may very well be that you get messages which do not even pass through Log4j and thus can't be logged to file…
I have not yet encountered any situation where Log4j would buffer any log output in Alfresco. The most common reason for Log4j not to log are missing file system permission, i.e. the Tomcat server not being allowed to write to the path pointing to alfresco.log

Hi Axel,
thanks a lot for your suggestion (and sorry for my late reply…).

I will try to take a screenshot and provide more information, in case I'll come into this issue again.

Thank you.
Regards,
Carlo
