---------------------------------------------------------

The path on the log4j.properties has not been specified:

It is trying to create it in / (root)

log4j.appender.roller-startup.File=roller-startup.log

For it to work in tomcat it needs this:

{code:xml}
log4j.appender.roller-startup.File=${catalina.home}/logs/roller-startup.log
{code}

but I guess it then does not work on other distros.

Not sure what to do here? any ideas?
