To (mostly) capture what appears in the tomcat command interpreter window on
a Win32 platform, do the following:
In the %TOMCAT_HOME%\bin directory is a file called TOMCAT.BAT
Searching through the file, you will find a code snippet that looks like
this:
:startServer
echo Starting Tomcat in new window
if "%2" == "-security" goto startSecure
%_STARTJAVA% %TOMCAT_OPTS% -Dtomcat.home="%TOMCAT_HOME%" org.apache.
tomcat.startup.Tomcat %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
goto cleanup
At the line that begins %_STARTJAVA%.... add ">
%TOMCAT_HOME%\LOGS\TOMSTART.LOG" (without quotes) so that
it pipes the output of the stream to a file called TOMSTART.LOG in your
tomcat LOGS directory. From there,
you can cut and paste it or parse it using a log reader or do with it as
you like...
Logging is turned on by context in SERVER.XML in the %TOMCAT_HOME%\conf
directory. It is specified in the <context> tag as debug=n where n is a
number from 0 to 9. See below for content achieved in log files with
different debug levels set.
I hope this helps...
Level 0
Errors and states that cause a significant change in program flow.
=> Anything that causes a Discon+Retry or a "giveup" message.
Level 1
Important or inaccessible state information.
=> Connection start, Idle disconnection.
Level 2
Rare things that cause a minor program flow adjustment.
=> No REST, No PASV, etc.
Level 3
Errors and useful messages that are slightly too verbose or common
for 0-2 or don't quite fit in the classifications.
=> Login banner
Level 4
All remote responses or major results. (Trace results)
=> All "999 Xyzzy" responses received.
Level 5
All remote commands or major tasks. (Trace jobs)
=> All commands sent to server.
Level 6
General information that will not be too verbose but is normally a
little less important. (Trace state)
Level 7
Similar to level 3 but verbose or not as useful.
Level 8
Very verbose information that'll probably be useful sometime.
Level 9
Anything and everything else, debugs that probably won't be useful
ever again. (unclassified)

Subject: Newbie problem starting web server.
version: tomcat 3.1
platform: win98
I'm new in configuring tomcat and fail to start the web server. I've
following questions:
1) can I run the tomcat web server on Win98 (9X)? or must be WinNT/2000?
2) after I type 'startup' from the /bin directory, another DOS window
prompts up w/ the log (see blow). From this point on, I try using my browser
and type: http://localhost:8080 (or http://localhost:8080/index.html). The
web server seems not running and the browser prompts me to connect to
internet.
I don't know how to capture the screen log, below is the extract: (It said
'File not found C:\Apache\Tomcat\webapps\ADMIN.WAR' but the file is in that
directory. So' I don't know why)
Context log: path="/ADMIN.WAR" File not found
C:\Apache\Tomcat\webapps\ADMIN.WAR
\WEB-INF\web.xml, using only defaults
Context log path="/ADMIN.WAR" :jsp: init
Context log path="/ADMIN.WAR" :default: init
Context log path="/TEST.WAR" :tomcat.errorPage: init
Context log: path="/TEST.WAR" File not found
C:\Apache\Tomcat\webapps\TEST.WAR\W
EB-INF\web.xml, using only defaults
Context log path="/TEST.WAR" :jsp: init
Context log path="/TEST.WAR" :default: init
Context log path="/test" :tomcat.errorPage: init
Context log path="/test" :jsp: init
Context log path="/test" :default: init
Context log path="/EXAMPLES.WAR" :tomcat.errorPage: init
Context log: path="/EXAMPLES.WAR" File not found
C:\Apache\Tomcat\webapps\EXAMPL
ES.WAR\WEB-INF\web.xml, using only defaults
Context log path="/EXAMPLES.WAR" :jsp: init
Context log path="/EXAMPLES.WAR" :default: init
Context log path="" :tomcat.errorPage: init
Context log path="" :jsp: init
Context log path="" :default: init
Starting endpoint port="8080"

tionHandler"
Starting endpoint port="8007"
handler="org.apache.tomcat.service.connector.Ajp12
ConnectionHandler"
3) I don't see the tomcat/logs files updated. how to turn the log function
on?
I'm stuck at this point. Your help is much appreiated.
thanks,
jackling.
