Application cannot create log file in linux

[Maya sekar]

In my application I want to create a log file and append log details in it. But when i deploy it, it throws a fileNotFound Exception when what should happen is a new log file must automatically be created and messages need to appended to it.

I am deploying the application in apache tomcat, in a unix system please help

Most probably you mis-spelled or mis-capitalized the directory path for the log file.

thanks for the reply but turns out tomcat didn't have permission to write in the Directory where I wanted the log file to be created.

Thanks again
