Hello Monks,

I was introduced today to the impressive Log::Log4perl. It looks really impressive and in order to give it a try I tried to implement it straight on one of my Perl scripts.

What I can not figure out is why I am getting this error:

Log::Log4perl configuration looks suspicious: No loggers defined at /u
+sr/local/share/perl/5.18.2/Log/Log4perl/Config.pm line 322.

I tried to follow the instructions found on the CPAN page and create my own Log::Log4perl Conf file.

Sample of the Log::Log4perl Conf file:

######################################################################
+#########
#                              Log::Log4perl Conf                     
+        #
######################################################################
+#########
log4perl.rootLogger                   = DEBUG, LOG1, SCREEN
log4perl.appender.SCREEN                        = Log::Log4perl::Appen
+der::Screen
log4perl.appender.SCREEN.stderr               = 0
log4perl.appender.SCREEN.layout               = Log::Log4perl::Layout:
+:PatternLayout
log4perl.appender.SCREEN.layout.ConversionPattern  = %d %p %m %n
log4perl.appender.LOGFILE                          = Log::Log4perl::Ap
+pender::File
log4perl.appender.LOGFILE.filename                 = /home/errorLog4Pe
+rl.log
log4perl.appender.LOGFILE.mode               = append
log4perl.appender.LOGFILE.layout                   = Log::Log4perl::La
+yout::PatternLayout
log4perl.appender.LOGFILE.layout.ConversionPattern = [%r] %F %L %m%n

The log file exists and I am calling the module in several points e.g. $logger->info("this is an info log test message"); and also in other places such as: 

open $stdout_fh[$num] , '>' , "".$hashRefDir->{Directories}{log_dir}."
+/".$hashRefconf->{$mp}{log}.""
        or $logger->error("unable to create file: $hashRefconf->{$mp}{
+log} - $!");

[download]

This is my configuration inside the subroutine that I am calling the module:

# Initialize Logger
    Log::Log4perl::init($logConf->{Log4Perl}{logConfIniFile});
    my $logger = Log::Log4perl->get_logger("parallelSsh");

Does anyone knows the reason that the log messages are not written in the errorLog4Perl.log?

Answer/ Solution: I needed to spend some time but I manage to find the reason that I was getting the error. I was loading the log4perl.log file instead of the log4perl.conf file. I hope the solution will assist in future other users with the same problem.

.

Thank you in advance for your time and effort.
