The location of the catalina.out log file is not controlled from server.xml. This is other log files.
Look in catalina.sh for ">> "$CATALINA_BASE"/logs/catalina.out 2>&1 &" and change that, to change the location of catalina.out.

So I modified the server.xml file in the conf dir in the following way: <!-- Global logger unless overridden at lower levels --> <Logger className=3D"org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger" directory=3D"/var/log/tomcat" prefix=3D"catalina_log." suffix=3D".txt" timestamp=3D"true"/> But inspite of doing this my catalina.out is gets logged in CATALINA_BASE/logs/ directory. There are two scripts in tomcat/bin/ directory catalina.sh and Catalina.50.sh which are doing a= touch "$CATALINA_BASE"/logs/catalina.out So are my changes made in the server.xml are getting overridden by these Scripts? If yes, please let me know a way to handle this. Your inputs will be extremely helpful for me.
