Default Pentaho BI Server 4.8 Installation

Hi all,

i'm new to Pentaho, i've just finished installing the package biserver-ce-4.8.0-stable.zip on a Windows 2008 R2 Standard server, everything is ok BUT i'm not able to get the file pentaho.log, at all.

If i start pentaho from the batch script biserver-ce\tomcat\bin\startup.bat the file is created and then populated with log entries, BUT i'm running pentaho as a windows service and then the file pentaho.log won't even be created at the tomcat start. Every other log file is being created and working as intended.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance
Max
