| We are using GeoServer Build 2.8.2. We want to change the location of our logs directory from D:\GeoServer\Data\logs to D:\GeoServer\Logs. We created a System environment variable called GEOSERVER_LOG_LOCATION and renamed D:\GeoServer\Data\logs to D:\GeoServer\Data\logs_orig. However this is not working as expected. 1. After we restarted Tomcat, the D:\GeoServer\Data\logs directory was recreated and 7 .properties files were created. 2. Nothing got logged to D:\GeoServer\Logs. Within the admin GUI, when we navigate to About & Status > GeoServer Logs, it indicates D:\GeoServer\Logs (Access is denied). We checked that the permissions of D:\GeoServer\Data\logs and D:\GeoServer\Logs are the same; so we cannot understand why we are getting the message. Is there anything we can do to get this working? Eventually we want to implement clustering, and a clustering best practice is to relocate the logs directory location. |
