redirect logs

[veera mani]

Hi ,


I want the tomcat logs on linux to be written to tomcat-4.1.30/logs/debs.log. How to that?
I just installed it and started it, but i find the following files inside logs directory.
catalina.out localhost_admin_log.2008-04-02.txt localhost_log.2008-04-02.txt
localhost_examples_log.2008-04-02.txt

I want the logs to be in debs.log and the tomcat-related issues with catalina.out.

How to set that ?


Thanks

Hi,

You can probably do that easily using log4j with tomcat. See below:

http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/logging.html

This page has steps to control and configure tomcat log files.

By default tomcat does not use log4j but uses commons logging. You can change commons logging behaviour as well by changing catalina.properties files in conf dir.

Hope it helps.
