log4j settings inquiry
hi,
i'm trying to run cassandra 0.7 on my windows machine,
and i don't seem to be able to go beyond the warning message
C:\Program Files\Apache Software
Foundation\apache-cassandra-0.7.4\bin>cassandra
-f
Starting Cassandra Server
log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger
(org.apache.cassandra.service.
AbstractCassandraDaemon).
log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.
log4j:WARN See http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/faq.html#noconfig for
more in
fo.
in my conf folder, i have log4j-server.properties which looks like
log4j.rootLogger=INFO,stdout,R
# stdout
log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.stdout.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=%5p %d{HH:mm:ss,SSS} %m%n
# rolling log file
log4j.appender.R=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.R.maxFileSize=20MB
log4j.appender.R.maxBackupIndex=50
log4j.appender.R.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.R.layout.ConversionPattern=%5p [%t] %d{ISO8601} %F (line %L)
%m%n
# Edit the next line to point to your logs directory
log4j.appender.R.File=file:C:/var/log/cassandra/system.log
any help will be much appreciated.
thanx in advnace

we've had issues in the past w/ the .bat file not quoting paths, which
you need to do to support paths w/ spaces. can you open a ticket and
we'll fix this one too?

specifying the path using the file:// protocol worked like a charm.
thank you very much Aaron for your help.
but i was wondering why
-Dlog4j.configuration=log4j-server.properties didn't work and
-Dlog4j.configuration=file://"C:\Program Files\Apache Software
Foundation\apache-cassandra-0.7.4\conf\log4j-server.properties"^ worked so i
tried to place cassandra's home folder to a folder without any space
characters
and it worked without using file:// protocol as well.
i guess it's the issue with log4j not being able to handle space characters
well.

Just checking the obvious thing, are you running cassandra or cassandra.bat ? (cannot imagine you would even get as far as you did but I like asking questions).
It's all a bit strange because the code in 0.7.4 will throw some errors if it cannot resolve a path to load the config from.
You can hard code the log config path by modifying the line
-Dlog4j.configuration=log4j-server.properties^
in cassandra.bat and specifying a path using the file:// protocol
Hope that helps.
