Hey there folks. I would really like to use log4r as my default logger in Rails, but I''m having a hard time getting it to work. I''m not even sure I''m plugging it in in the right place. I''m using log4r 1.0.5 and rails 1.1.1. I would love it if someone could either point me to a good tutorial on how to use log4r with rails, or at least point me in the right direction as far as how to configure/set it up. Thanks a lot! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Also an example of a simple xml configuration would be welcome. The log4r manual and xml example a rather poor (with due respect to the maker of log4r himself, as I think log4r is very promising) Thanks, Fino -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
