Can someone please explain how I can prevent this error from happening?

This audiot stuff is not very good since it will put the log file at the location where you start the servlet container. So I am guessing you start tomcat from a location where the process doesn’t have write privilegies and then dhis fails when trying to create the file…?

log4j:ERROR Either File or DatePattern options are not set for appender [AUDIT].
INFO 17:08:38,576 System property dhis2.home not set
(DefaultLocationManager.java [main])
INFO 17:08:38,581 Environment variable DHIS2_HOME points to
- copy the log4j,properties to somewhere
- edit the audit.log path to point to where you want the log file
- add '-Dlog4j.configuration=file:/path/to/log4j.properties' to your environment (e.g. CATALINA_OPTS)
Logging really is an operational concern, so I think it makes sense to externalize.

Hi.
I edited the log4j.properties file in
/dhis/WEB-INF/classes/log4j.properties to point to the absolute file
path where the logs should be stored. Tomcat stopped complaining then.
Will put this in the server setup section of the manual when I get a
chance.
Regards,
Jason

Good. You will forget to redo it the next time you upgrade the war, though, so I'd recommend externalizing the file (to DHIS2_HOME?).
