Stian Lund created WFLY-2643: -------------------------------- Summary: JBOSS_LOG_DIR is checked but not used to set jboss.server.log.dir Key: WFLY-2643 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-2643 Project: WildFly Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public (Everyone can see) Components: Logging, Server Affects Versions: 8.0.0.Beta1, JBoss AS7 7.1.1.Final Environment: All Reporter: Stian Lund Assignee: James Perkins In standalone/domain start scripts (standalone.sh/bat) the value of environment variable JBOSS_LOG_DIR is checked for: # determine the default log dir, if not set if [ "x$JBOSS_LOG_DIR" = "x" ]; then JBOSS_LOG_DIR="$JBOSS_BASE_DIR/log" fi However, this is not actually used to set the value of Java property jboss.server.log.dir. -Djboss.home.dir=\"$JBOSS_HOME\" \ -Djboss.server.base.dir=\"$JBOSS_BASE_DIR\" \ "$SERVER_OPTS" (It should be set at the same place) This leads Jboss/Wildfly/EAP to assume the default value of $JBOSS_BASE_DIR/log. This is a problem for those who want to override the location of the server.log files. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
