(I need a coffee.) So, I'm not asking the right questions here. To recap: 1. What log files *are* being generated? Are you getting catalina.2010-04-01.log, catalina.2010-04-02.log etc? 2. If so, are they in addition to the catalina.1.tar.gz type files? 3. How big are is the compressed tar.gz and and how big is the file when it's unpacked? 4. Did you post the entire log4j.properties or are there other parts to it? E.g. Are there MaxBackupIndex and MaxFileSize settings? If not, try adding one set to -1 and 0. p >> On 21 April 2010 16:32, Goo Sam Kong <skgo...@gmail.com >> <mailto:skgo...@gmail.com>> wrote: >> >> I want catalina.out to be rotate daily but Tomcat give me extra >> files (catalina.out.1.gz, catalina.out.2.gz...catalina.out.30.gz).
