  <pre><code>set LOG4J="-Dlog4j.debug -Dlog4j.configuration=%DIR%\log4j.properties"

  </code></pre>
  
  <p>the port, host, cmdclass,DIR, type have proper values and this is my log4j.properties file, i am on windows machine.</p>
  
  <pre><code># Set root logger to output only ERROR and FATAL events to R appender
  log4j.rootLogger=ERROR,R
  
  # Define R appender to output to local log
  log4j.appender.R=org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender
  log4j.appender.R.File=D:/logs/sample.log
  log4j.appender.R.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
  log4j.appender.R.layout.ConversionPattern=%d %-5p %c - %m%n
