[opencms-dev] problem with log4j - opencms_init.log

[Christoph P. Kukulies]

I'm resurrecting a site which runs under Debian (squeeze) and after
having tamed tomcat6 and had filled ~/webapps/ROOT (running opencms as
the ROOT app with the rewrite rules and http-proxies) again from the 
backup, I'm seeing some ERROR message in catalina.out.

I also have log4j enabled, for what it's worth. Maybe it has got to do with
it. I wonder what's triggering opencms_init.log since I only found
it randomly in some places and there doesn't seem to be any pattern where
it should be located.

The permission problem could stem from the fact that tomcat is running under
user tomcat6 and it might be it wants to read or write a file w/o permissions.


log4j.properties: -------------------------------------


log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG, R 
            log4j.appender.R=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender 
            log4j.appender.R.File=${catalina.home}/logs/tomcat.log 
            log4j.appender.R.MaxFileSize=10MB 
            log4j.appender.R.MaxBackupIndex=10 
            log4j.appender.R.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout 
            log4j.appender.R.layout.ConversionPattern=%p %t %c - %m%n
