I used your config file verbatim and it worked. I can tell you it is not your config file. Is there any hint at all in the tomcat/logs directory?

I also wondered whether the file had to already exist before it could log to it. So I touched the file and that made no difference. Also, I tried removing the tomcat-juli.jar file from $CATALINA_HOME/bin and that made no difference. Just looking at the startup script, I don't think JULI conflicts with log4j -- i.e., it doesn't look like if you use one you can't use the other. -- Rob Tim Lucia said the following on 05/25/2007 03:59 PM: Your configuration file is valid. Does the user Tomcat runs as have write permission along the output path? You could try using /tmp as a test. If it is not permissions, then it could be a classpath issue, but your notes lead me to believe that not to be the case (i.e., you put them where they should be. You may (I'm fuzzy on this) have to rename the tomcat-juli.jar file, or otherwise change the startup script(s) so that it doesn't use the juli logger.

Now I have Tomcat 5.5.9 installed an working, except for logging (and one other problem that I might be able to resolve on my own if only I could get logging to work). I have never configured Tomcat to log using log4j (Tomcat 4.x's built-in was sufficient). Following the instructions on the website (http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/logging.html), I creating a log4j.properties file and placed it in common/classes -- the only change I made on the example on the webpage was to replace a variable with an absolute path: log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG, R log4j.appender.R=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender log4j.appender.R.File=/var/apache/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.9/logs/tomcat.log log4j.appender.R.MaxFileSize=10MB log4j.appender.R.MaxBackupIndex=10 log4j.appender.R.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout log4j.appender.R.layout.ConversionPattern=%p %t %c - %m%n I then put log4j-1.2.7.jar and commons-logging-1.1.jar jarfiles in common/lib and started Tomcat. The instructions don't say anything about doing anything else and I've not done very much with log4j other than use it to enable syslog logging in various applications, but it's not working. Any ideas?
