ok, thanks for that extra advice. this is the title of the jar file I downloaded. log4j-1.2.14.jar
Any way, I'm going to reunzip the directory into my app. I first just extracted it to the root of the hard drive, rather than to the app in Tomcat itself. I'll redo that and go from there, too.

These are two very different beasts, expecially with the old version of Tomcat you must be using, since you are using FileLogger. I would guess it is 4.0 or something very old like that. For Application logging, you don't mess with Tomcat's logging at all. For server logging, piping it through Log4j may or may not be possible with Tomcat 4.xx. It certainly is with 5.0+ by going through commons-logging. Also, to configure Log4j for Tomcat, log4j.properties or log4j.xml would have to be in commons/classes along with log4j.jar and commons-logging.jar in common/lib. Don't mess with this. You've got enough on your plate with figuring out the basic workings of Log4j. Concentrate on using Log4j for logging in your application only for now.
