Description

In Apache Ranger Admin with Java 11 the JVM doesn't start because the path directory of the GC log file does not exist. However, with Java 8 the JVM even though the file doesn't exist starts correctly. 

 

As a result of this, no GC logs are now left unless this condition is met (file -> security-admin/scripts/setup.sh): 

 

 

 

I attach evidence:

JAVA 8 

JAVA 11
