Thanks,
Yes, I read this numerous times. But, I'd like something simpler than
manipulating the dtomcat4 script (which is what I want to avoid). I'd
like a way to set it in the /etc/tomcat4/conf/tomcat4 preferences or in
server.xml. I'm not looking for a quick fix to configure this on one
machine, I need to setup a configuration script that sets up certain
settings in tomcat for our software installation across many many many
machines. I want to manipulate as few files as possible. If anything I'd
like to include a /etc/tomcat4/conf/tomcat4.conf file that covers
everything and just copy it over to /etc/tomcat4/conf/tomcat4.
It seems a little confusing to have tomcat configured from 3 different
locations:
/etc/tomcat4/conf/tomcat4
/usr/bin/dtomcat4
/var/tomcat4/conf/server.xml
One never knows what is a $Param one can set in
/etc/tomcat4/conf/tomcat4.conf or a hand edit that needs to be done in
/usr/bin/dtomcat4 vs something that can be configured in the server.xml
file. Seems a little cleaner organization could be used here? Something
like environmental settings to startup tomcat going in
/etc/tomcat4/conf/tomcat4 and configuring behavior of tomcat after
startup to go in server.xml (which would include location of "all" logs
and such).I'm confused as to why there are SystemErrLogger and
SystemOutLogger entries I could set in server.xml and yet I can't adjust
anything like the directories on these entries.
As well, I'm stuck with "$CATALINA_BASE"/logs/catalina.out as the
location of catalina out based on the /usr/bin/dtomcat4. Yes I can
change $CATALINA_BASE, but I'm stuck with /logs/catalina.out
org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap "$@" start \
>> "$CATALINA_BASE"/logs/catalina.out 2>&1 &
what if I wanted to just set the location of my catalina.out to be where
I configured the other logs to be in my server.xml file ( which is
/var/log/tomcat/ ), I can't really do it without going in and
manipulating the dtomcat4 script. I'm not really interested in
manipulating dtomcat4, I really just want to configure tomcat using
either /etc/tomcat4/conf/tomcat4 or /var/tomcat4/conf/server.xml.
besides, if I set CATALINA_BASE doesn't that adjust everything else
dynamic like the location of the webapps directory?
It's great to have the ability to adjust the location of the temp
directory. I just think we could also use such functionality for the
logs as well (and not have it dependent on CATALINA_BASE).
My 2 cents,
