Hi Noelette,
Thanks for the reponse!
It logs to catalina-YYYY-MM-DD.log, localhost.YY-MM-DD.log,
localhost_access_log.YYYY-MM-DD.txt - but it doesn't use catalina.out.
When I temporarily started Tomcat via startup.sh it did create catalina.out
(and start logging the things that it wasn't logging into the other files,
/var/log/messages, or the systemd journal).
I'll see if I can get my setup (at least temporarily) working with startup.sh.
OH... you might just be misunderstanding what's happening.
When you use catalina.sh start (or startup.sh), that script just does this:
java [stuff] > ${CATALINA_BASE}/logs/catalina.out 2>&1
When you run with jsvc, it includes some built-in file-rotation and so
catalina-[date].log is the same thing.
Are you irritated that you can't read the logs, or are you irritated
that the log file isn't specifically "catalina.out"?

We use systemd with jsvc and our tomcat instances write to
$CATALINA_BASE/logs by default.

Hello all,
I haven't been able to figure this out - but a catalina.out file is not
being generated for me. Sadly - I'm trying to troubleshoot an issue (with
a vendor's saml implementation) which wants to write to that file (and
doesn't seem to be writing what I need to catalina.YYYY-DD-MM.logs,
/var/log/messages, or into the journal as seen by "journalctl
--unit=tomcat.service").
My environment:
* RHEL 7.9 (though the same happens on my RHEL 8 hosts)
* Tomcat 9.0.63 (installed from the .tar.gz download from
https://tomcat.apache.org/download-90.cgi - not from the OS repository)
* Using jsvc via a systemd startup script to start Tomcat (that script
is at the bottom of this message).
I've tried specifying CATALINA_OUT in setenv.sh, and in my systemd startup
script. I've temporarily disabled SELinux to see if that makes a
difference. Neither of those work. What does work, though I would like to
avoid it, is if I start Tomcat via ./startup.sh. If I do that -
catalina.out is generated but I'm not getting other settings I set in my
systemd script (or having it tied to startup/shutdown of the OS).
I don't know what I'm missing or doing wrong here, or if there's something
about jsvc that is an issue here that I can't figure out. I've been unable
to find anything related to this (lots of posts about catalina.out related
to operating system distributed versions of Tomcat that don't appear to
apply).
Any advice here would be greatly appreciated!
