FWIW, my tomcat.log would never be updated unless the file already existed
before starting tomcat... so maybe you can try creating a 0-length file of that
name.





{then when I try to put the error trace to a file for the sake of my hand->
(tomcat run >err.txt), the output is there up until the errors, then it says
error report can be found in    <TOMCAT_HOME>/logs/tomcat.log ... but its
not there!}
