FileNotFoundException (Logback) while starting app

When running SpringBoot 2.0.3 app on tomcat 8.5.0 i get following error:

ERROR in ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.RollingFileAppender[FILE] - openFile(C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 9.0\temp/spring.log,true) call failed. java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 9.0\temp\spring.log (Access is denied)

logback-spring.xml from this module is as follow:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>

    <springProperty scope="context" name="springAppName" source="spring.application.name"/>
    <include resource="org/springframework/boot/logging/logback/base.xml"/>

        </rollingPolicy>

                </pattern>
            </providers>
        </encoder>
    </appender>
</included>

But the problem disappears when running InteliJ as an admin.

In my case, I have the save error message like you, ....call failed. java.io.FileNotFoundException

The point is the user who runs the application does not have permission to write log file, look at your .service file to find who runs the application. However, if you want to pass this problem easily just change permission of "logs" folder to 777

 <file>${catalina.base}/logs/${springAppName}.log</file>

by using this linux command.

chmod 777 logs

Doing this solve my problem.

Two reasons you might facing in this condition:

  1. See if you have permission to read spring.log file or not this is the most obvious reason of java.io.FileNotFoundException: (Access is denied) exception and I didn't had sufficient permission so I immediately provided read, write and execute permission to the log file and tried again.

  2. See if some other process is using that file This could be another possible reason of java.io.FileNotFoundException: (Access is denied).
