that
the current working directory(which I got by printing it from within the
application), /var/lib/tomcat7, and all its subdirectories were in the
tomcat7 group, which should give the web app permissions to create files,
but its not working. any suggestions?
Hi Elias,
That directory will also need "group write" permission set. Best way to
work through this problem is to "sudo" to the userid that will be running
tomcat, then try and create a file in that directory from the shell.
If it is the group write that is missing, this command will add it:
chmod g+w /var/lib/tomcat7
But that is not where you should be writing logs. /var/log is a
conventional place to keep logs. What is your log4j configuration?

You need to check where log4j is (trying to) writing its logfiles. That is part of your
log4j configuration.
