Hi, we use this instructions to log to a file. Sounds a bit complicated, but should work:
Follow the following steps to setup a file named tomcat.log that has internal Tomcat logging output to it: 1. Create a file called log4j.properties with the following content and save it into common/classes. 2. log4j.rootLogger=warn, R log4j.appender.R=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender log4j.appender.R.File=${catalina.home}/logs/tomcat.log log4j.appender.R.MaxFileSize=10MB log4j.appender.R.MaxBackupIndex=10 log4j.appender.R.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout log4j.appender.R.layout.ConversionPattern= ?p ?t ?c - ?m?n log4j.logger.org.apache.catalina=DEBUG, R 3. The log4j.jar and commons-loggin.jar will be put into your $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib when you get the latest version of the website_config libs (towards the end of this setup). 4. Install Commons Logging and place the commons-logging.jar (not commons-logging-api.jar) in $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib with the log4j jar. 5. Start Tomcat This log4j configuration sets up a file called tomcat.log in your Tomcat logs folder with a maximum file size of 10MB and up to 10 backups. DEBUG level is specified which will result in the most verbose output from Tomcat. > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: news [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Auftrag von teknokrat > Gesendet: Mittwoch, 30.
