Hi Chris, I can confirm that this is a bug. The facility cannot be configured using the strings as specified in the documentation. I will open an issue and we will fix this.
In the meantime, you can use the integer values of the PHP constants used for syslog facility, as listed here: http://www.php.net/manual/en/network.constants.php For example, if you want to use the LOCAL7 facility, you need to use the integer value of the LOG_LOCAL7 constant which is 184. Therefore, something like: log4php.appender.default = LoggerAppenderSyslog log4php.appender.default.facility = 184 I will have to get back to you concerning the other issue, I'm off kayaking today. :-) Thanks for reporting the bug.
