I found the following exception in /var/log/daemon.log java.io.FileNotFoundException: axis2.log (Permission denied) at java.io.FileOutputStream.openAppend(Native Method) at java.io.FileOutputStream.<init>(FileOutputStream.java:207) at java.io.FileOutputStream.<init>(FileOutputStream.java:131) at org.apache.log4j.FileAppender.setFile(FileAppender.java:290) at org.apache.log4j.FileAppender.activateOptions(FileAppender.java:164) at org.apache.log4j.config.PropertySetter.activate(PropertySetter.java:257) at org.apache.log4j.config.PropertySetter.setProperties(PropertySetter.java:133)

Also, i am assuming all actions performed by axis2 are performed with the tomcat user. does anyone know where should i look? does what it said hold water? Thanks in advance, as usual Rafael
