Question to post to the list

2010-06-09 Thread Fiona Duncan
Hi,

I am hoping that someone may be able to help me.

I want to write my tomcat logs to a different directory.
I thought i could change

log4j.appender.R.File=$\{catalina.home\}/logs/tomcat.log to something like 
log4j.appender.ROLLINGFILE.File=$\{logs\}/stdout.log

in my C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 
6.0\webapps\Dekho\WEB-INF\classes\resources logging.properties file but had no 
luck with this.

Does anyone have any ideas

is the environment-variable $logs specified?

So you're using Tomcat 6.0.something, and Windows something, and a JVM
version +1.5 of some sort.   (Hints for next time)

You can define CATALINA_HOME (Tomcat installation) and CATALINA_BASE
(apps, logs  config) to be in separate locations.

This is often used to run multiple instances from the same binaries, but
also helps moves logs out of Programs Files on Windows and makes
upgrades incredibly easy.

Examine RUNNING.txt in the Tomcat installation directory and look for
Advanced Configuration.

Pid,

I believe the problem here is that Fiona tried to use

File=$\{logs\}/stdout.log

However, this will only work if an environment-variable logs is
defined - which is IMHO no default configuration.

Cheers

Gregor

Yep.  You seemed to have that angle covered - I was suggesting an
alternative approach.

I forgot to add the final statement though.  (I plead pre-coffee).

 log4j.appender.R.File=$\{catalina.base\}/logs/tomcat.log

... plus if the line is part of a log4j.properties file, I never saw 
backslashes in those. Works without them.

  log4j.appender.R.File=$\{catalina.base\}/logs/tomcat.log

It's also not clear what the OP's expectations are; she speaks of Tomcat 
logs, then presents information about logging inside one particular webapp - 
which has nothing to do with Tomcat's logging.

So what's the real problem?
