Hi, I am using Log4j logging in Tomcat 5.5.16 with JDK 1.5.0 update 7 on RedHat Linux server.
I followed the instructions on http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/logging.html to copy the commons-logging-1.0.4.jar and log4j.jar into $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib directory. and created log4j.properties in $CATALINA_HOME/common/classes directory as below: log4j.rootLogger=info, CATALINA log4j.appender.CATALINA=org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender log4j.appender.CATALINA.DatePattern='.'yyyy-MM-dd log4j.appender.CATALINA.File=${catalina.home}/logs/catalina.out log4j.appender.CATALINA.threshold=info log4j.appender.CATALINA.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout log4j.appender.CATALINA.layout.ConversionPattern=%d:%p %c{2} - %m%n After couple of days, I saw some catalina.out files suffix with ".x.gz", where x is number range from 1 to 30. May I know to get rid of these files? I only want log4j to handle the file rotation as configured in log4j.properties. Thank you. Regards, SamKong Goo
