Hi Thomas,
You do not need to have the first \\ charactes as this makes it an actual path
rather than a relative path so it should be
<appender name="client" class="org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender">
<param name="File" value="logs\\client.log"/>
BTW just use a single forward slash instead of the double back slash it will be
easier to read..
Regards
Steve
