Description

Changes made to the logger through Log Manager portlet are not reflected in the server. Through the admin console, I have changed the Config File from server-log4j.properties to a different file. The change is written to config.xml . Inspite of this new file name in config.xml, upon restart, the server still uses server-log4j.properties .

Restarting the server after deleting server-log4j.properties logged the following error to console window.

log4j:ERROR Could not read configuration file from URL [file:/C:/geronimo-1.0/va
r/log/server-log4j.properties].
