[Geoserver-users] Correct location of log4j config files?

For sorting out another issue I had to change my log4jConfigFile. This resulted in the following warning. I only had the PRODUCTION_LOGGING.properties in “dataDir/logs”, so the warning is definitely spot-on!

2014-04-03 11:35:35,401 WARN [geoserver.logging] - log4jConfigFile ‘GEOTOOLS_DEVELOPER_LOGGING.properties’ couldn’t be found in the data dir, so GeoServer will install the various logging config file into the data dir, and then try to find it again.

The various config files were indeed installed, but not to the data dir (which is configured on our geoserver instance using the GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR context parameter). The files are installed in “tomcatDir/logs”. So what’s the correct location to put these log4j config files?

Experienced this behavior in both geoserver 2.4.0 and 2.5.

Yes, it's a known issue:
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-6186

The current suggested patch received negative comments, hopefully next week
I'll find the time to verify the issue and amend the patch in a more
suitable way

Cheers
Andrea
