how to change "default" logs path directory

[Mohamed Lokbani <lo...@gmail.com>]

Hi,


OS: Windows
Tomcat: 5.5.9
Tomcat User: student without privilege, will not have the wright to
write in CATALINA_HOME
Each student will have its own "webapps", logs, work etc. directories.

By default all logs in Tomcat 5.5.9 are written in CATALINA_HOME/logs directory.

"Logs doc"

http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/faq/logging.html

[ As you read these questions, please keep in mind that Tomcat's
internal logging is separate from your own webapp's logging. You would
typically be concerned only with your own webapp's logging.]


I suppose by "Tomcat's internal logging" they meant the logs sent to
the file catalina.YYYY-MM-DD.log?

if so, how to change the default directory of the "Tomcat's internal logging"?

Why I want to do it ....

As I said, I would like each user, without privilege, running Tomcat
on a windows machine to have his/her own logs, even the server logs. I
tried to move elsewhere the logs, by changing the default path.

For localhost's log file, I added AccessLogValve to the engine and
host in server.xml; and context in context.xml, problem resolved.

But I didn't find a way to change the default directory for the file
catalina.YYYY-MM-DD.log!


Thx!

why dont u just use log4j.

You can have the log4j.jar in the common/lib folder and each webapp
can have an individual log4j.properties file in the webapp classpath.
YOu can configure log4j.properties to have a filehandler
(FileAppender).

check this also:
