You didn't bother to tell us what version of Tomcat you're using (or the platform you're running on), so the following is based on current levels. If you're on an older level (e.g., 4.1) you'll need help from someone else, since I've never used it (or your could upgrade). The catalina.out file is not used by Tomcat; it doesn't exist at all on Windows, and on Linux it's simply a redirect of System.out and System.err to catch print statements in applications too lazy to use proper logging. The localhost.yyyy-mm-dd.log contains only log messages generated by the <Host> components inside Tomcat; it's not the one you want. What you do want to look at is catalina.yyyy-mm-dd.log; the messages in there should be fairly self-explanatory. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
