Errors from log4j in starting up

[mikedl]

(This is my second attempt at posting this question, the first never showed up)

Hi.

I am migrating a stable jboss 3.2.3 system to 3.2.5 and am running into a puzzling problem. I install jboss in a non-default location. Fortunately, the jboss_init_suse.sh script lets me change the location of the jboss home. This was no problem in 3.2.3, but in 3.2.5, jboss seems to ignore this information and I get fatal startup errors (log below).

Any ideas on what's broken or how to fix it?

Thanks!

I found the problem; it was insufficient privileges to open the correct location.

I'm having other problems now, but I don't understand them well enough to ask a good question yet. After working with jboss from the 2.x days, this is as difficult an upgrade as 2.x -> 3.x - many things have changed significantly!
