The customized properites file is: jspwiki-custom.properties This should be located in <tomcat>/webapps/wiki/WEB-INF/classes
You can change the workDir, or just the log file: jspwiki.workDir=/opt/digitalspider/jspwiki/wikis/testwiki/data/ log4j.appender.FileLog.File = /var/jspwiki/logs/jspwiki.log See the docs here: * https://jspwiki-wiki.apache.org/Wiki.jsp?page=Documentation * https://jspwiki-wiki.apache.org/Wiki.jsp?page=Getting%20Started But if you have a permission error, it might be more than just the log file.
