             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.
