This appender creates the "catalina." file, so you are doing this to yourself. > log4j.appender.CATALINA.DatePattern='.'yyyy-MM-dd'.log' This will move "catalina." to "catalina..yyyy-MM-dd.log" every time the date rolls over (actually, when the first log from the following day is written). So, you are creating "catalina..yyyy-MM-dd.log" yourself. "catalina.out" is impossible to avoid, because stdout *must* go somewhere. If you want, you can set CATALINA_OUT to /dev/null but then you might miss crucial log messages. > log4j.appender.LOCALHOST=org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender > log4j.appender.LOCALHOST.File=${catalina.base}/logs/localhost. You are creating this file. If you don't send any log messages to it, that's your fault. If you don't want it, don't configure it. > _____________________________ > > On restart, my (deleted-beforehand) logs directory looks like > this: > > /logs/catalina. /logs/catalina.2013-12-03.log /logs/catalina.out > /logs/cluster.2013-12-03.log /logs/localhost. > /logs/localhost_access_log.2013-12-03.txt > _____________________________ I would have expected your filenames to contain two sequential dots before the dates because your ".File" property ends with a dot and your ".DatePattern" begins with a dot. > "catalina.out" has spymemcached logging info (I haven't changed > the spymemcached system property yet to log4j so that might be > why). It's also possible that spymemcached is writing directly to System.out (or System.err). You might want to check on that. Or it may be logging to ServletContext.log(). > "cluster.2013-12-03.log" is behaving normally. "localhost." is > empty. And the daily access log is good. Odd... as you have not configured such a log about.

You cannot avoid catalina.out unless you do something dumb like sending stdout to /dev/null. > 2.

What you have above should work for that. > 3. Get rid of the empty localhost. file. Just remove the configuration for the LOCALHOST appender and that will solve this problem. As Konstantin suggested, you should read the documentation for log4j. What is in the Tomcat documentation is just a suggestion to get you started. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.15 (Darwin) Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJSn2inAAoJEBzwKT+lPKRYRq0P/RcofIzrFYmLCL+lm8H93p8J 9Efs0JgeSA0YctejCN/p3bBNFC6NkcG1ZVQ9txoksFbzEIbJU/WrfUS7FUZgPaw+ e2f+5BW90aIxKK7PkCA1opJVKj3jhIxTix9egQJrfoIGlZ+iuqkeHpevtYN8z5Dt pcuwlq3/+r38Vh+NnaxcCBlniigja/q4u4KW9eH00XHXSRCL6Rf7labldxVf3Klf V+hlAUimmejQ2IYYYMYuE8thcjiEPwzDPe+IMmWcy4l07jOPzFWdKMYR1HD9THo/ agW9iimx+4sC4UJn03GZ8ndEmPj6ShFS0wHcvyQWinAKqMZ9UyKqRM4YPgpJkHFu Uhct6JAGhteZ02uSPynw6PZu6cfIcB50QR+Bf0c9/v+lJZJ/WQFhZspcCTawwMDr hzgu9Mp4ZHYVjneOQ0pFHmV8ZcoNlXlxdjntH0JoPEj4giPzJQnW80LLQ73TftPJ GP3swzGFZF2sLBV5fG3Faeww4wL4zhz64fKf/6r6C3nGj8/SORA+msSF4/ySr51i jWOcuiCsjul/PDAC+cTsBOyKXJQsJZ/99p+5qeUb1wkldbI35mWUZwh1lVGQs8Pc /kkWRESajL35kZJ7h9LXLtFt3rYtKQKzgJ9Tfvgd5zjhvLPLWxfNSTNZPl6Ys93L xaFsE9WOURRSa/FcmeCp =JQo2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
