Not to log to catalina.out

Question

I have the following logging.properties configuration:

1catalina.org.apache.juli.FileHandler.level = FINE
1catalina.org.apache.juli.FileHandler.directory = /mnt/asd/tomcat_logs
1catalina.org.apache.juli.FileHandler.prefix = catalina.

2localhost.org.apache.juli.FileHandler.level = FINE
2localhost.org.apache.juli.FileHandler.directory = /mnt/asd/tomcat_logs
2localhost.org.apache.juli.FileHandler.prefix = localhost.

3manager.org.apache.juli.FileHandler.level = FINE
3manager.org.apache.juli.FileHandler.directory = /mnt/asd/tomcat_logs
3manager.org.apache.juli.FileHandler.prefix = manager.

4host-manager.org.apache.juli.FileHandler.level = FINE
4host-manager.org.apache.juli.FileHandler.directory = /mnt/asd/tomcat_logs
4host-manager.org.apache.juli.FileHandler.prefix = host-manager.

In the folder /mnt/asd/tomcat_logs there are the following files:

• catalina.2010-08-06.log
• host-manager.2010-08-06.log
• localhost.2010-08-06.log
• manager.2010-08-06.log

But in the /etc/tomcat/tomcat/log folder there is also catalina.out file. How can I change the path of the file to /mnt/asd/tomcat_logs??

Answer 1

Edit conf/logging.properties and change:

.handlers = 1catalina.org.apache.juli.FileHandler, java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler

By

.handlers = 1catalina.org.apache.juli.FileHandler

Answer 3

Above approaches are correct, but rather than changing existing sh files, please create new "$CATALINA_BASE/bin/setenv.sh" file and add this entry:

export CATALINA_OUT="/new/path/to/catalina.out"

Do not forget to chmod +x "$CATALINA_BASE/bin/setenv.sh".

For Windows use its setenv.bat counterpart.

Answer 4

you must edit "$CATALINA_BASE"/bin/catalina.sh file and find CATALINA_OUT="$CATALINA_BASE"/logs/catalina.out and replace with new path .

restart tomcta and enjoy it .
