Crowd 2.1 : Finding the atlassian-crowd.log File
This page last changed on Oct 19, 2009 by smaddox.

When you report a problem to Atlassian Support, we may ask you to send us your atlassian-crowd.log file. The location of the log file may vary, depending on your Crowd installation type. Provided that you have not changed the log file location from the default, the Crowd log file is at the location described below.

Installation Type Location of Log File
Crowd Standalone edition Crowd 2.0.3 and older versions: In the root directory of your Crowd application, e.g. atlassian-crowd-2.0.0/atlassian-crowd.log
Crowd 2.0.4 and newer versions: In the Crowd application Home Directory, e.g. Crowd-Home-Directory/logs/atlassian-crowd.log
Crowd Standalone running as a Windows service C:\Windows\system32\atlassian-crowd.log
Crowd WAR edition The directory from which you start the application server, e.g. apache-tomcat-6.0.16/bin/atlassian-crowd.log

How do I Change the Location?

You can change the location of the log file by modifying the following line in the WEB-INF/classes/log4j.properties file of your Crowd installation to use an absolute file path:

log4j.appender.filelog.File=atlassian-crowd.log

For more information, please refer to the page on logging and profiling.
