Log File !

[Migrated From Jforum.net]

JForum should log IMO everything in it's own log file.
At the moment that's not how it works: not with 2.0.2, and not with 2.1beta.
Even more, the log files should use a date suffix if they exceed a specific size, an to write to anoter file. All these features come from log4j, so one needs just to confiture it.
IMHO however, these features should be coufigured "out of the box" - by default - to work as the are .

Yes, I know it. I was talking about "out of the box".
At the moment the log4j.xml contains something like:

<param name="File" value="c:/tmp/jforum.log"/>

I suppose only on few installations this will work as it its .
IMHO, using no absolute paths would be better , since is usual that logs go in tomcat/logs ("appserver"/logs).

Thanks in advance,

Yes, I agree.. this "feature" of log4j is a fuck. However, changing it will add extra complexity and effor that I'm not able to do on this logging stuff. We can add some information on the docs tough.
