Re: FAQ: where on earth does ActionServlet log problems to?

I'm getting 500 errors, and the servlet.log and tomcat.log are empty. So is the DOS box (yes, unfortunately I'm on Window$ 95) that tomcat starts up in. I'm stumped as to find out more information about my problem. Oh please help. :-) Welcome to the wonderful world of Windows. The problem is that Windows does not update the file size of a directory entry until you close the file -- so you will have to shut down Tomcat to see the actual text of the messages. Humbly awaiting wisdom, Linux :-) :-) Laird Craig

I should have *known* it was another colossal Gates Co. f***up. I
estimate I've spent around 30-40% of my programming career working
around droolingly idiotic disasters perpetrated on the unsuspecting
populace by the morons in Redmond.
Thanks for the info. ('Course now it's just telling me that
ActionServlet couldn't create a new ActionInstance--no reason given--but
that's something I can probably figure out myself. I *will* get this
damn thing to say hello, damn it!)
Back to code digging.
Cheers,
Laird
