Description

I'm trying to remove all writable files out of %PROGFILES%\GeoServer to a more appropriate place (like %APPDATA%\GeoServer) in line with Vista security. I have moved the data_dir and logs folders out of the way, and I have edited web.xml (for the data_dir) and jetty.xml (for the logs) appropriately (or so I think). When starting up, I get the following error:

java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\Program Files\GeoServer\logs\geoserver.log (The system cannot find the path specified)

which means that something is still trying to be written there.

The log file in the data_dir is being created successfully, so that is being seen, at least.

If there is a place to force geoserver.log be written to another directory, I am unable to find it.

If I have forgotten something obvious, which hopefully I have, please let me know.

The file I was looking for is
