[Stian Lund (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-2643?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12930971#comment-12930971 ] 

Stian Lund commented on WFLY-2643:
----------------------------------

Thanks - maybe I should change to an enhancement request? As it's not a bug.

I don't have much experience with Git (if that's what you mean by PR)  i'm afraid but maybe it's time to learn ;)

> In standalone/domain start scripts (standalone.sh/bat) the value of environment variable JBOSS_LOG_DIR is checked for:
> {code}
> # determine the default log dir, if not set
> if [ "x$JBOSS_LOG_DIR" = "x" ]; then
>    JBOSS_LOG_DIR="$JBOSS_BASE_DIR/log"
> fi
> {code}
> However, this is not actually used to set the value of Java property jboss.server.log.dir.
> {code}
> -Djboss.home.dir="$JBOSS_HOME" 
> -Djboss.server.base.dir="$JBOSS_BASE_DIR" 
> "$SERVER_OPTS"
> {code}
> (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.
