Tim, Right now I'm running Tomcat as root so that it can grab ports 80 and 443 (I understand there is a work around for that, but I'm not there yet) and so permissions is not an issue. I also wondered whether the file had to already exist before it could log to it. So I touched the file and that made no difference.
Also, I tried removing the tomcat-juli.jar file from $CATALINA_HOME/bin and that made no difference. Just looking at the startup script, I don't think JULI conflicts with log4j -- i.e., it doesn't look like if you use one you can't use the other. -- Rob Tim Lucia said the following on 05/25/2007 03:59 PM: > Your configuration file is valid.
