Chris,
Here are my log4j settings. These are the same settings that have been
posted on the Tomcat web site for v6, 7, and I think 8 for users, I didn't
change anything here as it seemed like it was just supposed to roll at
midnight based on the DatePattern configurations.
log4j.rootLogger=INFO, CATALINA
# Define all the appenders
log4j.appender.CATALINA=org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.CATALINA.File=${catalina.base}/logs/catalina.
