Need to configure email sending in log4j

[Faris Abdulla, modifié il y a 13 années.]

Hi friends,

I need to configure sending email when error occurs in the software. I have followed some tutorials in web site. But it did not work in liferay 5.2.3. So is there any setting we need to configure for liferay.

links are:
errors by email

Also
sending email through log4j

I didnt see any reaction after changing the log4j.properties in tomcat server..

Awaiting for your valuable reply.

Thanks,
Faris

Which Log4j.properties have you changed..

For Liferay's log4j to see you changes, you need to follow this link.

Hi Raja,

Yes, I gone through this wiki.

I placed my properties in WEB-INF/classes/log4j.properties

log4j.rootCategory=INFO, CONSOLE, ERROR
log4j.appender.MAIL=org.apache.log4j.net.SMTPAppender
log4j.appender.MAIL.BufferSize=10
log4j.appender.MAIL.SMTPHost=smtp.gmail.com
log4j.appender.MAIL.From=[e-mail]
log4j.appender.MAIL.to=[e-mail]
log4j.appender.MAIL.Subject=[Dummy] Error Alert
log4j.appender.MAIL.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.MAIL.layout.ConversionPattern=%d [%t] %-5p %c %x - %m%n

But it didn't send any email.

I just follow the tutorial which link mentioned in above post.

Also I tried mentioning the SMTP server authentication in log4j.properties.
log4j.appender.mail.SMTPUsername=User
log4j.appender.mail.SMTPPassword=Pass


Thanks,

Raw approach but it should definatly work..

go to \liferay\tomcat-6.0.26\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\lib, open the jar file

portal-impl.jar and change the log4j.properties of this jar to contain email config.

Hi Raja,

I dont know whats wrong with my settings. I didnt see any actions from my server. Still I didnt receive any email from my server when error happened..

Do I need to give the SMTP email configuration in log4j or it will take the default configuration which I metioned in liferay email settings?

Thanks in advance..

Now I achieved by creating my own class by extending with SMTPAppender using liferay mail service..

Thanks and regards,
