If he wants to have an access log, he needs the <Valve> element. The <Valve> element was inside <Context>, <Context> was in <Host>. If he removed the <Context> element, <Valve> would go with it. <Valve> can be placed inside <Engine>, <Host>, or <Context>. Maybe you meant to say delete "<Context>" and "</Context>" from server.xml, placing <Valve> directly inside <Host>. Placing <Valve> inside <Host> will log access to every web app defined for that virtual host. Right now he only seems to have one web app. If there is only one hosted web app, the access log would contain the same information whether the <Valve> is in <Host> or <Context>. As a matter of fact, if this is his only <Host> element, the access log would contain the same information if <Valve> were inside <Engine>. It all depends on his intent. If he wants to limit logging to a particular web app, I would suggest placing the <Valve> inside <Context>. It would be a good habit to develop. This way, if he ever decides to add another web app to this host, and he wants a separate access log, he has a template to work from. Otherwise, if he wants to log all access to a virtual host, place <Valve> inside <Host>. If he wants to log all access to a Tomcat server instance, place <Valve> inside <Engine>. -Bill -----Original Message----- From: Caldarale, Charles R [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 22, 2008 8:35 AM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: RE: Server.xml Host Configuration > From: Radcliffe, William H.

Note that the OP's AccessLogValve was inside the <Host>, not the <Context>, and can stay where it is. Again, no <Context> is needed for the desired setup. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
