Confluence Docs 3.0 : FileAppender log4j.properties This page last changed on Jan 22, 2007 by ivan@atlassian.com. The 2.3 log4j.properties file doesn't specify a file for the FileAppender (because the necessary lines haven't been uncommented). Hence the log files normally generated via the file appender, `logs/atlassian-confluence.log`, is presently missing? If you experience this situation and see errors in the logs such as:
    log4j:WARN File option not set for appender [confluencelog].
    log4j:WARN Are you using FileAppender instead of ConsoleAppender?
    log4j:ERROR No output stream or file set for the appender named [confluencelog].
Please uncomment the following lines in the `log4j.properties` file located under `confluence/WEB-INF/classes` and restart Confluence (ie remove the #'s)
    #log4j.appender.confluencelog.File=${catalina.home}/logs/atlassian-confluence.log
    #log4j.appender.confluencelog.MaxFileSize=20480KB
    #log4j.appender.confluencelog.MaxBackupIndex=5
