Hello,
I'm migrating from Tomcat 5.5.4 to 6.0.18. On version 5.5.4 we were able to create two separate log files: catalina.out for System.err, and traffic.log for the application. In version 6.0.18 I'm unable to recreate this scenario. I've followed the Tomcat documentation (http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/logging.html). I have a log4j.properties in $CATALINA_HOME/lib which loads the catalina.out file correctly. The traffic.log file is the one causing problems. Per Tomcat's documentation, I have a log4j.properties file in the traffic/WEB-INF/classes directory. This file is not being loaded for some reason. What happens is the output from the traffic webapp is showing up in catalina.out. The traffic webapp loads and runs without issue, it just doesn't have its own log file. I've checked the classpath by turning on debugging and verified the traffic/WEB-INF/classes directory is in the classpath. I've also turned on log4j debugging with -Dlog4j.debug and verified that only the the catalina.out properties file is loading. I tried configuring the log4j.properties file manually in java, but the results are the same: no traffic.log file. Here's the snippet I used: File logConfFile= new File("/traffic/WEB-INF/classes/log4j.properties"); BasicConfigurator.resetConfiguration(); if(logConfFile.exists()) { PropertyConfigurator.configure(logConfFile.getAbsolutePath()); } else { BasicConfigurator.configure(); } I've researched the source code for log4j and Tomcat but I haven't found any leads at this point. Researching the Tomcat bug database turns up one bug (https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=41996) but the answers indicate modifying the catalina.properties file. I'm not sure I should I do that. Bill Clar Java: 1.6.10 System: Fedora, Release 9 (Sulphur) Kernel Linux 2.6.27.5-37.fc9.i686
