Time for action – changing log levels permanently

Let's change the log level of LoginPostAction permanently:

1. Stop the Liferay Portal server, if it is running.

2. Now, locate the liferay-portal-6.0.6\tomcat-6.0.29\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\classes directory from the root directory where you installed the Liferay Portal bundle.

3. Create a new directory called META-INF in the classes directory.

4. Copy 7003OS-chapter-10\code\log4j.dtd from the downloaded code to the META-INF directory created in the preceding step.

5. Create a new file called porta-log4j-ext.xml in the META-INF directory we just created and copy the following code and save it:

   <?xml version="1.0"?>
   <!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration SYSTEM "log4j.dtd">
   <log4j:configuration xmlns:log4j="http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/">
     <category name="com.liferay.portal.events.LoginPostAction">
       <priority value="DEBUG" />
     </category>
   </log4j:configuration>
   

6. Start the Liferay Portal server.

7. Sign in to the Neighborhood portal...
