Hi Mark,

ok, but please note that I was using service.bat, not the Windows Installer.


I tried to reproduce the behavior on a clean Windows XP (32 bit) virtual 
machine. I did the following steps:


1. I downloaded "jdk-7u2-windows-i586.exe" (JDK 7u2) from Oracle and installed 
it.

2. I set the "JAVA_HOME" environment variable to the JDK path, 
"C:\Programme\Java\jdk1.7.0_02".

3. I downloaded "apache-tomcat-7.0.25-windows-x86.zip" (the 32-bit Windows Zip 
file) from tomcat.apache.org and extracted the files to C:\Tomcat7.

4. When I call startup.bat and later shutdown.bat to start Tomcat directly (not 
as service), all logs are stored in "C:\Tomcat7", e.g. 
"C:\Tomact7\logs\catalina.2012-01-27.log". After shutting down Tomact, I 
deleted the logs so that the folder is clean.

5. Then, I run "service install" to install Tomcat as Windows service.
Following output is printed to the console:

Installing the service 'Tomcat7' ...
Using CATALINA_HOME:    "C:\tomcat7"
Using CATALINA_BASE:    "C:\tomcat7"
Using JAVA_HOME:        "C:\Programme\Java\jdk1.7.0_02"
Using JRE_HOME:         "C:\Programme\Java\jdk1.7.0_02\jre"
Using JVM:              "C:\Programme\Java\jdk1.7.0_02\jre\bin\server\jvm.dll"
The service 'Tomcat7' has been installed.

6. I start the "Apache Tomcat 7" service (short name: "Tomcat7") in the Windows 
Services panel.

7. Following logs are created (displayed by "dir" command):

C:\tomcat7>dir /b /s *.log
C:\tomcat7\bin\${catalina.base}\logs\catalina.2012-01-27.log
C:\tomcat7\bin\${catalina.base}\logs\host-manager.2012-01-27.log
C:\tomcat7\bin\${catalina.base}\logs\localhost.2012-01-27.log
C:\tomcat7\bin\${catalina.base}\logs\manager.2012-01-27.log
C:\tomcat7\logs\commons-daemon.2012-01-27.log
C:\tomcat7\logs\tomcat7-stderr.2012-01-27.log
C:\tomcat7\logs\tomcat7-stdout.2012-01-27.log

So it seems the Tomcat logs are stored in 
"C:\tomcat7\bin\${catalina.base}\logs\", whereas the Daemon logs are stored in 
"C:\tomcat7\logs\".
Also, when I set "CATALINA_HOME" to "C:\Tomcat7" before installing the service, 
the logs are stored in the bin\${catalina.base}\logs folder.

When using the same steps with Tomcat 7.0.23, all the logs are stored into 
C:\Tomact7\logs.

Did I something wrong in the service installation?


Thanks,

Best Regards,
Konstantin Preißer
