Windows permissions issues

Hello,

What should the permissions be for the log4j output file on a Windows machine?

Here is the error I am getting:

log4j:ERROR setFile(null,true) call failed.
java.io.FileNotFoundException: cojack_log4j.log (Access is denied)

The complete stack trace is included as the attachment.

I am using log4j-1.2.16 since this version was included in a commercial Java software product.

There is also another file included as an attachment serving as a configuration file.  Again, this file was included with the product installation.

Here is the configuration file contents:

log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG, outputfile

log4j.appender.standardconsole=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.standardconsole.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.standardconsole.layout.ConversionPattern=%d [%c] %-5p - %m%n

log4j.appender.outputfile=org.apache.log4j.FileAppender
log4j.appender.outputfile.file=cojack_log4j.log
log4j.appender.outputfile.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.outputfile.layout.ConversionPattern=%d [%c@%t] %-5p - %m%n

log4j.appender.logfactor=org.apache.log4j.lf5.LF5Appender

Your assistance would be appreciated.

Regards,
William Johnston

Unless you're running as a service, in which case you need to check how the service is configured ...

You might want to see help form your IT staff... the account name is
usually the name you use to login to your machine.

William,

It could be that your account does not have write access to that file or
its containing folder. Or maybe the containing folder does exist. Or maybe
the underlying file was deleted or moved. IOW, it could be lots of things...
