Can you get them to create a group that you and the tomcat server are both members of? Then grant read privilege on the log directory to the new group. Added benefit of the group plan is you can have other support people added to the group and the network guys don't have to mess with the folder permissions.

that was another problem that I (unfortunately!) combat daily.

I can't see the stack trace. I don't have permissions to the account under 
which Tomcat runs. I can Terminal Service into the server, but only under my 
profile, not that account. So I can never see the console!

And getting these network "support" guys to help with this is as bad as an act 
of Congress to get something done!

My fault, I assumed you were on solaris.

That is odd. Is there any stack traces in the localhost log?

Might be on a different OS that Windows is picky that way.

I'm at about 4.7 MB! For the logs anyway...isn't that the directory to
which you're referring?
But one thing I do wonder about...seems as if someone had told me one
time there was a finite amount of folders or items that could be in a
Windows directory, like 256 for example. I currently have 253, but I haven't
encountered this problem since a few weeks back.
If there is a limit (and I don't think there is except for the root
directory), it's huge; I have several NTFS directories with tens of
thousands of files in them.

I did go ahead and zip up a bunch of old log files, but I don't think it
was too big of an issue at the time.

I can't remember off the top of my head but I think there is a 2GB
limit(OS
Level). but I'd have to try and find that, to be totally sure.

Not sure why, because more errors did occur.

I had a few logs, with one being catalina_log (prefix), the other being
localhost_admin_log, another being localhost_DBTest_log, which catches
most
of my errors and then localhost_log.
All of course stapled with a datestamp.

apologize for coming in late if this was resolved... Are you saying
Tomcat
just stop's logging to the catalina.out?

Hello,

I have a strange situation.

Tomcat has stopped logging today on my prod. server. Not sure why. All

of

the app seems to be working just fine, but the key log file stopped
generating new info.

I have a scheduled task stop and restart Tomcat every morning around

6am,

so as to dump bad threads if there are any.

Usually it resumes just fine.

Any idea as to why this would occur?

Thanks!
