[jboss-as7-dev] Can't override the path "jboss.server.log.dir" in config file

[Kabir Khan]

To override jboss.server.log.dir you need to start the server with ./standalone.sh -Djboss.server.log.dir=/some/where

See the following location for more information
https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/AS7/Admin+Guide#AdminGuide-Systemproperties

http://community.jboss.org/en/jbossas/as7_users?view=discussions

I'll check with the author about the wording here.

BTW please for user questions use http://community.jboss.org/en/jbossas/as7_users?view=discussions rather than this list
