RE: tomcat.log file not found

Title: tomcat.log file not found

Try this from a servlet or jsp

 

Exception e = new Exception("test");

getServletContext().log("Exception Occurred"+exception, (Throwable)exception);

 

This will write the exception to tomcat.log.

 

Check if the following lines is there in tomcat\conf\server.xml

<Logger name="tc_log"
     path="logs/tomcat.log"
     customOutput="yes" />

 

    <Logger name="servlet_log"
     path="logs/servlet.log"
     customOutput="yes" />

 

    <Logger name="JASPER_LOG"
     path="logs/jasper.log"
     verbosityLevel = "ERROR" />

 

Regards,

Nagaraj.

I have already tried to find it (in Windows) through the Start... Search... For Files or Folders... but in vein. It is not anywhere.

The message 'Starting tomcat. Check logs/tomcat.log for error messages' is purely informational.  If there were any errors, they would be logged in a file of this name.

 

But to find the file, on windows, right click on my computer, select Find (Search on Win2000), and enter tomcat.log in the filename box and let it go. On Unix, try 'find / -name tomcat.log -print | tee tmpy' (the tee command sends the output to both stdout and tmpy. This is useful, because if you are not root, then you will get lots of messages to stderr about can't read directory, so you can just 'cat tmpy' to find all the stuff that went to stdout.

 No it is not, I have already looked there (several times) but it is not in there. It is not in the tomcat/logs, actually it is not on my hard disk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't seem to find it anywhere.

tomcat.log is usually in

c:\tomcat\logs\, if you have installed tomcat in c:\.

  And something else.... Sometimes when I am starting Tomcat I get an error message: "Starting tomcat. Check logs/tomcat.log for error messages" but I cannot find such file. I have looked everywhere (even in other drives) but I cannot find the file tomcat.log. I have to say here that Tomcat does not crash after this error message but keeps on working normally.

  Any ides about what is going on?

  Thank you.
