Hi, My colleague sent this information about our system. Geoserver installation was made out of the box with a war file.
-Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.8 (Maipo) -Apache Tomcat/9.0.62 -geoserver-22-RC-war Things tested: "-Dorg.apache.logging.log4j.simplelog.StatusLogger.level=DEBUG" and "<Configuration status="debug">" without improvement to the problem. Restarting tomcat or switching the logging profile generates following line to "geoserver.log": 04 Nov 14:49:26 CONFIG [geoserver.logging] - Log4j 2 configuration set to DEFAULT_LOGGING.xml Since that no more lines appear into the log file. "chmod 777" to complete "data" directory did not change anyting. Tomcat is running on tomcat user and complete "webapps/geoserver22" directory is owned by tomcat:tomcat. Tomcat sandboxing is not enabled. Pre geoserver 2.21.x versions have no problems with log writing on this system. I noticed one difference to your test. You wrote that "3. Out of the box logs are going to webapps/geoserver/logs/geoserver.log". In our case the out of the box logs are pointing inside the automatically created data directory, "/var/lib/tomcat9/webapps/geoserver22/data/logs/geoserver.log". -Jukka Rahkonen- Lähettäjä: Jody Garnett <jody.garn...@gmail.com> Lähetetty: tiistai 1. marraskuuta 2022 19.44 Vastaanottaja: Rahkonen Jukka <jukka.rahko...@maanmittauslaitos.fi> Kopio: geoserver-users@lists.sourceforge.net Aihe: Re: [Geoserver-users] Geoserver 2.22RC does not write log into file 1. Trying now: - macOS 13.0 - Tomcat 9.0.68 - geoserver-22-RC-war 2. The war contains license html files, but no top-level RUNNING or README instructions (not sure why) 3. Out of the box logs are going to webapps/geoserver/logs/geoserver.log 4. Changing to GEOSERVER_DEVELOPER_LOGGING.xml 5. So many TRACE logs it is very busy ... So I cannot produce this problem locally Q: Is your tomcat running as different user? Does it have permission to create geoserver.log? Have you enabled tomcat sandboxing to prevent apps modifying webapps folder? -- Jody Garnett On Tue, 1 Nov 2022 at 00:56, Rahkonen Jukka <jukka.rahko...@maanmittauslaitos.fi<mailto:jukka.rahko...@maanmittauslaitos.fi>> wrote: Hi, I wonder why Geoserver does not write log into a file with version 2.22RC that is installed on Linux from war. The default data_dir fallback is in use and therefore the log file should be '/var/lib/tomcat9/webapps/geoserver22/data/logs/geoserver.log'. But when we start Geoserver and use it we can see only this one line in the UI About & Status - GeoServer Logs: 01 Nov 09:00:30 CONFIG [geoserver.logging] - Log4j 2 configuration set to GEOSERVER_DEVELOPER_LOGGING.xml Logging works as supposed with 2.22RC that I installed from bin-zin on Windows. On the Linux server the logging is OK with pre-log4j 2 version 2.20 but both 2.21 and 2.22RC create just that one line log. Any suggestions about what to try next? The production data_dir will not be at /var/lib/tomcat9/webapps/geoserver22/data/ but we use the defaults for fast testing. -Jukka Rahkonen- _______________________________________________ Geoserver-users mailing list Please make sure you read the following two resources before posting to this list: - Earning your support instead of buying it, but Ian Turton: http://www.ianturton.com/talks/foss4g.html#/<https://eur06.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ianturton.com%2Ftalks%2Ffoss4g.html%23%2F&data=05%7C01%7Cjukka.rahkonen%40maanmittauslaitos.fi%7C335ca018cc944252ca3708dabc30c96c%7Cc4f8a63255804a1c92371d5a571b71fa%7C0%7C0%7C638029214984398207%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=DaFJhunoKDYdh8sjmW1PcJUYX3NTMGdRh1t5GBm5tW0%3D&reserved=0> - The GeoServer user list posting guidelines: http://geoserver.org/comm/userlist-guidelines.html<https://eur06.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fgeoserver.org%2Fcomm%2Fuserlist-guidelines.html&data=05%7C01%7Cjukka.rahkonen%40maanmittauslaitos.fi%7C335ca018cc944252ca3708dabc30c96c%7Cc4f8a63255804a1c92371d5a571b71fa%7C0%7C0%7C638029214984398207%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=AINAL4%2BdWC%2FNqgtqpvSZGnGAJanZZ9FTuuu9pKluX3k%3D&reserved=0> If you want to request a feature or an improvement, also see this: https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/wiki/Successfully-requesting-and-integrating-new-features-and-improvements-in-GeoServer<https://eur06.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fgeoserver%2Fgeoserver%2Fwiki%2FSuccessfully-requesting-and-integrating-new-features-and-improvements-in-GeoServer&data=05%7C01%7Cjukka.rahkonen%40maanmittauslaitos.fi%7C335ca018cc944252ca3708dabc30c96c%7Cc4f8a63255804a1c92371d5a571b71fa%7C0%7C0%7C638029214984398207%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=SfSZuPlvM8r8NsxYZC3twx33KwKYXRCadO2gw1AIhEI%3D&reserved=0> Geoserver-users@lists.sourceforge.net<mailto:Geoserver-users@lists.sourceforge.net> https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/geoserver-users<https://eur06.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flists.sourceforge.net%2Flists%2Flistinfo%2Fgeoserver-users&data=05%7C01%7Cjukka.rahkonen%40maanmittauslaitos.fi%7C335ca018cc944252ca3708dabc30c96c%7Cc4f8a63255804a1c92371d5a571b71fa%7C0%7C0%7C638029214984554450%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=67L3gfxjUSGmK9ChPNY5%2Fpef%2FIY4QH8KwiUggQ7eAeY%3D&reserved=0>
