All, A few updates to this thread. After some additional testing, we've discovered that upgrading to log4j version 2.25.1 *does solve the logging issues*. (The prior mentioned fix of downgrading to version 2.24.3 also works -- either is perfectly OK to patch the issue)
If you want to upgrade to log4j 2.25.1, the fix is the small one-line change in this PR: https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/pull/11028 Simply update your root "pom.xml" to have: <log4j.version>2.25.1</log4j.version> After that change, you'd have to rebuild the DSpace backend (mvn -U clean package) and reinstall (ant update). I've also updated the 7.6.4 Release Notes to include a warning about this log4j issue: https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC7x/Release+Notes#ReleaseNotes-7.6.4ReleaseNotes We are also working on a very quick DSpace 7.6.5 release to fix this issue. I think this should be out either today or tomorrow. 7.6.5 will be a very small release which only includes a few dependency updates (including this very important log4j one). So it will be a simple upgrade for anyone running 7.6.4. Tim On Tuesday, July 22, 2025 at 1:26:17 AM UTC-5 [email protected] wrote: > Hi, > > This is what I did and it actually works as expected.
