Hi Julien,

The xwiki.log file is defined in the log4j.properties file located in your main xwiki JAR. There's no absolute nor relative path defined for it which means it'll be created in the directory from where you have started Tomcat.

Hope it helps, -Vincent

It tells me that it can't write the xwiki.log file, but I don't know where this file has to be, so I could give the right permissions on the filesystem !!

(I suppose that the owner of this file is the tomcat user)

Thanks in advance

Yes. As I said it was in the xwiki JAR...

...

Do I need that archive for a basic use ?

Yes. You need everything in the WAR!

...

Moreover, there is no directive in this file which tells me where the xwiki.log is written ...

I already answered this question, please check my last email.

Thanks -Vincent

Hi vincent (and the others !), according to the doc ( http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/InstallationTomcat ), only the xwiki-1.0-beta-2.war file is needed with the Tomcat container, isn't it ? If not, in which folder do i need to extract xwiki-1.0-beta-2.jar ? [TOMCAT_HOME]/webapps/xwiki/ ? [TOMCAT_HOME]/webapps/xwiki/WEB-INF/ ? Moreover, I stop/start tomcat with the default /etc/init.d/tomcat55 script. Even calling it from [TOMCAT_LOG_FOLDER] doens't solve the problem, I always got this " java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.io.FilePermission xwiki.log write)" in my [TOMCAT_LOG_FOLDER]/catalina_$DATE ...

Hi, The problem is in the security model (see http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-348 ). Debian uses tomcat with the java security turned on. Until we fix this, the only solution I know is to turn it off. Sergiu On 1/23/07, Vincent Massol <[email protected]> wrote:

Julien,

I'm not going to solve this for you... (and I don't have access to your machine). The only thing I can tell you is what I've already told you: xwiki wants to write a xwiki.log file in the directory where it is started.

Now I'll let you find out from what directory you're starting it.

If you want to change the location of the log file you'll need to unpack the WAR file, unjar the xwiki jar, modify the log4j.properties file so that the log file is created in the directory you want and repack the whole thing. Hmm... Actually there might be a simpler solution: just create a new log4j.properties file and place it before the xwiki war in the Tomcat classpaths. Note: I haven't done that so don't ask me how ;-)

When you've found out how to make all this work, it would be nice to post back so that others can learn from your case.

Thanks -Vincent

Hi Vincent,

U force me to modify the /etc/passwd in order my tomcat user can login to a shell ;)

So, the user running tomcat has the good rights to write files in the tomcat log folder ... :)

Hi Sergiu,

U were right ! :)

In order to turn java security off, if U run xwiki on a debian os, with Tomcat 5.5, U got to edit /etc/default/tomcat5.5, uncomment the line with the directive TOMCAT5_SECURITY and set it to no.

I have updated the installation page for Tomcat about this: http:// www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/InstallationTomcat Julien, could you please let me know if the information there is good enough now?
