There is no log in openfire (openfire.log)

Openfire Openfire Support
1

Version: openfire-4.7.5-1
A clean installation with an LDAP connection. After starting the service and any actions in the web interface, let the /usr/share/openfire/logs/ directory.
After clicking Clear, an empty file /usr/share/openfire/logs/openfire.log appears on the log page, which is not filled in the future.
When Trace Logging is enabled, there is a reaction, but all entries only end up in the journal. how can I fix this bug?

What distribution did you use to install Openfire? Typically, logs are saved in <openfire_home>/logs/

You can inspect the file <openfire_home>/lib/log4j2.xml which is what Openfire uses to configure its logging system. Usage of this file is documented here: Log4j – Configuring Log4j 2

Good afternoon, the Red-os distribution version 7.3 was used to install openfire.

I do not know what that is. Which installer did you download from our website?

This version is not available on the site. Program version 4.7.5

Have experienced a few crashes that require reboot to recover.
Unable to see any logging happening. Checked log4j2.xml in /etc/openfire looks correct.

Can you guys check if Openfire has ownership of the log file. ls -lh or whatever. if not give the correct permissions to Openfire.
