http://xkcd.com/293/ 1. You are running not the original Tomcat version from Apache, but one repackaged by Ubuntu maintainers. While they do a good job, there may be differences in their configuration which we do not know about. Search the list archives for Ubuntu-related questions. You may consider downloading official Tomcat release from tomcat.apache.org. At least, you should figure what version of Tomcat you are using. 2 . Tomcat logs are by default located in $CATALINA_BASE/logs and are configured in $CATALINA_BASE/conf/logging.properties 3. I have heard that Tomcat under Ubuntu runs with Security Manager enabled by default. If cyclos provides its own logging configuration, reading it can be prohibited by the security policy (see conf/catalina.policy). 4. Besides *.log files there is always a catalina.out file (or how it is named there?), where stdout and stderr of Tomcat instance are redirected. If logging is not functioning you would better look in that file. 5. Tomcat is usually started by calling $CATALINA_HOME/bin/catalina.sh start or $CATALINA_HOME/bin/catalina.sh start -security which launches Tomcat and redirects its stderr/stdout. The second command launches it with SecurityManager enabled You can launch it also by the following commands: $CATALINA_HOME/bin/catalina.sh run $CATALINA_HOME/bin/catalina.sh run -security In this case the stdout/stderr won't be redirected and you will see the output in your console window. 6. http://tomcat.apache.org/ http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/FAQ Best regards, Konstantin Kolinko --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
