title: Logger doesn't write to file Log4J
body: <p>I don't understand why my Log4J is not logging to file. Ive been looking many similar posts but none helped me. I configured all correctly, but it doesn't log to the file.</p>
  
  <p>Let me show you, this is the config log4J.properties:</p>
  
  <pre><code># Root logger option
  log4j.rootLogger=INFO, file, stdout
  
  # Direct log messages to a log file
  log4j.appender.file=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
  log4j.appender.file.File=log.out
  log4j.appender.file.ImmediateFlush=true
  log4j.appender.file.MaxFileSize=1024MB
  log4j.appender.file.MaxBackupIndex=1
  log4j.appender.file.Append=true
  log4j.appender.file.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
  log4j.appender.file.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} %-5p %c{1}:%L - %m%n
  
  log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
  log4j.appender.stdout.Target=System.out
  log4j.appender.stdout.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
  log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} %-5p %c{1}:%L - %m%n
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And this is how I use the Logger:</p>
  
  <pre><code>import org.slf4j.Logger;
  import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory;
  
  ...
  
  private Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(GameBoardService.class);
  
  
  ...
  
  logger.info("log this text into file....");
  </code></pre>
