- Environment: Windows 7 Professional, SP1 64-bit, Tomcat 5.5.33 - Logging level set to INFO
- CATALINA_OPTS: -Dsun.lang.ClassLoader.allowArraySyntax=true - No JAVA_OPTS environment variable - JAVA_HOME points to JDK 1.6.0_26 - NOT installed as a Windows service. Tomcat starts/runs/stops fine using startup.bat and shutdown.bat - Applications deploy properly, can be accessed and used properly - Tomcat admin console can be accessed and used properly - The problem is that the log files are always empty (0kb) - The following log files are produced by Tomcat, but are always empty: o admin.date.log o catalina.date.log o host-manager.date.log o localhost.date.log o manager.date.log - The following log files are NOT produced by Tomcat (missing) o stdout.log o stderr.log o catalina.out - Ive tried several workarounds to produce the log files properly, all without success o Tried running the .bat file from the command line directly piping output to a local .txt file; all that gets piped to the .txt file is the java environment variables that are being used o Modified catalina.bat to pipe %EXECJAVA% %ACTION% commands to log file (didnt work, nothing in the log file) o Followed instructions at http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/logging.html to set up logging § Tried log4j; log files didnt contain exception messages § Tried commons logging; no change (log files still empty) o Followed the only previous mail-list item that seemed similar to my situation: http://www.mail-archive.com/users@tomcat.apache.org/msg74244.html § Followed all responses; same result; this thread doesnt seem to be solved § (I do not receive VM instantiation errors like the user in that thread does) - I cant upgrade to a newer version of Tomcat because 5.5.33 is the only version supported by the project Im working on Contents of logging.properties file (located in BOTH /common/classes/ and /conf/ folders): # Licensed to the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) under one or more # contributor license agreements.

This is critical, as I need the stack traces for exceptions, but the buffer in the command prompt window is tiny, so they get flushed out easily. Thanks in advance, Brian J.
