JBoss AS6 Removing bootstrap log handlers

[baddeley84]

Hi,

I have been using JBoss AS 6 Final for my SEAM application happily for the past year, but just today I noticed when I start the server it fails to remove bootstrap log handlers, resulting in no console or file logging? This is strange as I have made no changes to jboss-logging.xml, I did made a few additions to the launch configuration in an attempt to tune the JVM but I have since reverted these changes and the problem still persists, I cannot think of any other changes that would have caused this??

I noticed a few older discussions regarding problems removing log handlers on AS6 but I thought this was resolved in the final release?

Is there anything I can look out for in the boot log? Or can anyone suggest a way to debug this?

Thanks

David

UPDATE:

I have found that when I remove the FILE logging handler from <root-logger> the server starts normally with just console logging

I have cleared out all existing logs (except server.log) from the /log directory but that didnt help

Pasted below is the file logger section of jboss-logging.xml, but dont think this is the cause as I have not made any changes to it?

I wonder if it could be a permissions issue on the /log directory?
