Thanks..
Sorry, but you are loosing me a bit here...
I installed tomcat with the binary for windows..
jakarta-tomcat-4.1.18.exe
and it installed the "service".. (can I assume it installed it correctly..??)
I wouldn't assume anything. I *never* use the installer for the very reason that I don't know what it is doing and I can just as easily simply unzip the zipped or gzipped archives to a directory and run. I don't even know why they make an installer? I guess just to give the illusion that Tomcat is a traditional application? I'm glad I didn't use a recent nightly of the Mozilla installer. It had a nifty new "feature" where it deleted the contents of "Program Files". That's fixed now and those builds have been removed from Mozilla's archives, but I bet at least a few people actually experienced the deleting of all of their programs. Of course, it never would have affected me since I simply use the zipped archive and ignore the installer in that case as well. Hmm.... pattern here? Have I made my case for not using installers when they aren't necessary yet? Heh :-)
I also tested this running tomcat from the command line (using the standard "startup.bat" file..
..same problem..
..so where does that leave me...???
I'm really not sure. You can try and do as I suggest above and not use the installer (and maybe move to a version of Tomcat that is actually current. 4.1.18 is ancient. Heck, 5.0.18 is out already... and quite stabe, if you as me). First I suggest you get System.out.println() to show up. Until this works, I can't see how you can begin to figure out how this relates to Log4j. I recommend sending a message to the Tomcat-user list about this.
