If can't find the path, have you tried removed the leading ./? For a path I would do
logs/framework.log assuming that it is contained in the same directory that your class is running from. -----Original Message----- From: Balaji Saranathan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 06, 2005 10:33 AM To: 'Log4J Users List' Subject: Clarification Hi, Can you tell me if log4j creates the log file (if they are not present) when using the FileAppenders or is it the responsibility of the developers to create the log files? I have a FileAppender configured and when I configure the log4j.appender.framework.File=framework.log=./logs/framework.log I get a the following error on stdout.log log4j:ERROR setFile(null,true) call failed. java.io.FileNotFoundException: .\logs\framework.log (The system cannot find the path specified) at java.io.FileOutputStream.openAppend(Native Method) at java.io.FileOutputStream.<init>(FileOutputStream.java:177) at java.io.FileOutputStream.<init>(FileOutputStream.java:102) at org.apache.log4j.FileAppender.setFile(FileAppender.java:282) at org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender.setFile(RollingFileAppender.java:16 5) at org.apache.log4j.FileAppender.activateOptions(FileAppender.java:161) at org.apache.log4j.config.PropertySetter.activate(PropertySetter.java:256) at org.apache.log4j.config.PropertySetter.setProperties(PropertySetter.java :132) at org.apache.log4j.config.PropertySetter.setProperties(PropertySetter.java :96) at org.apache.log4j.PropertyConfigurator.parseAppender(PropertyConfigurator .java:654) at org.apache.log4j.PropertyConfigurator.parseCategory(PropertyConfigurator .java:612) at org.apache.log4j.PropertyConfigurator.configureRootCategory(PropertyConf igurator.java:509) at org.apache.log4j.PropertyConfigurator.doConfigure(PropertyConfigurator.j ava:415) at org.apache.log4j.PropertyConfigurator.doConfigure(PropertyConfigurator.j ava:441) at org.apache.log4j.helpers.OptionConverter.selectAndConfigure(OptionConver ter.java:468) Confidentiality Notice The information contained in this electronic message and any attachments to this message are intended for the exclusive use of the addressee(s) and may contain confidential or privileged information.
