Helmut, Where did you look for log files? Often they will be in the logs directory under the Tomcat home directory. Sometimes the standard output goes to a file called catalina.out.
To help further you could supply: - Tomcat version, there should be a file called RELEASE_NOTES somewhere under the Tomcat home directory (aka CATALINA_HOME). - What OS and version you are running. - Anything else that might give us a bit more context within which to help. -----Original Message----- From: Helmut Schneider [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 18, 2006 6:23 AM To: users@tomcat.apache.org Subject: Logging Hi, I'm not very aware of tomcat but I 'inherited' a webserver with tomcat where an application does not seem to work anymore. So the first thing I wanted to do is to look at the logfiles - no logfiles. I looked at conf/server.xml and found: <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve" directory="/var/log/tomcat" prefix="localhost_access_log." suffix=".txt" pattern="common" resolveHosts="false"/> [...] <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.FastCommonAccessLogValve" directory="/var/log/tomcat" prefix="localhost_access_log." suffix=".txt" pattern="common" resolveHosts="false"/> /var/log/tomcat/ does exist, is writable for tomcat and two files are created at startup: stdout.log and stderr.log. That's it. I found an article about log4j so I created common/classes/log4j.properties with: log4j.rootLogger=INFO, R log4j.appender.A1=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender log4j.appender.A1.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout log4j.appender.A1.layout.ConversionPattern=%d [%t] %-5p %c - %m%n log4j.appender.R=org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender log4j.appender.R.DatePattern='.'yyyy-MM-dd log4j.appender.R.File=/var/log/tomcat/tomcat.log log4j.appender.R.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout log4j.appender.R.layout.ConversionPattern=%d [%t] %-5p %c - %m%n Nothing. Any ideas are appreciated.
