Hi, I am having a problem, using Log4J with Ant on Unix. My project runs fine on Win and Unix. On Win, Log4J logs all the debug info to a log file for me. On Unix, it does not. It does not give any errors or anything. I have checked the obvious things like, does the file exist and does the user have permissions to edit it.
I am able to echo directly to the file from within my Ant project and this works fine. On Win my echos and the Log4J info gets into the file, but on Unix, only my echos get into the file. This is how I invoke Ant in a ksh script: #!/usr/bin/ksh BASEDIR=$PWD export BASEDIR ANT_HOME=$BASEDIR/Ant_1.7.0 export ANT_HOME PATH=$PATH:$ANT_HOME/bin export PATH JAVACMD=/usr/jdk/instances/jdk1.5.0/jre/bin/java export JAVACMD # The CLASSPATH below was neccessary on Win to get Log4J to work. CLASSPATH=$ANT_HOME/lib/ export CLASSPATH ## cd / chmod -R 777 $BASEDIR cd $BASEDIR $ANT_HOME/bin/ant -f $BASEDIR/build.xml -q -e -listener org.apache.tools.ant.listener.Log4jListener -Dlog4j.configuration=log4j.properties I tried this where the ## is, but it made no difference: rm Full_Ant_Log.log touch Full_Ant_Log.log chmod -R 777 $BASEDIR/Full_Ant_Log.log My config Log4J properties file, log4j.properties, is in the CLASSPATH=$ANT_HOME/lib/ directory And it looks like this: # Configuration Appender "FILE" log4j.appender.FILE=org.apache.log4j.FileAppender log4j.appender.FILE.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout log4j.appender.FILE.layout.ConversionPattern=%-5p: %d: %m%n log4j.appender.FILE.file=$BASEDIR/Full_Ant_Log.log log4j.appender.FILE.threshold=DEBUG # Use Appender "FILE" log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG, FILE I tried, log4j.appender.FILE.file=Full_Ant_Log.log instead of log4j.appender.FILE.file=$BASEDIR/Full_Ant_Log.log But that did not make a difference. I am using Ant 1.7.0 and log4j 1.2.15. I am using the same downloaded file of Ant 1.7.0 and log4j 1.2.15 for Windows and Unix, is this ok? Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks
