Path of log files changed in Tomcat 7.0.25 when installing as Windows Service
Hi all,
I was using Tomcat 7.0.23 with Java 1.7.0_02 on Windows Server 2008 (32-Bit).
I installed it as service, by using the service.bat file with "service install" command. Let's say the installation path is "C:\Tomcat7".
For Tomcat to work, I added the "JAVA_HOME" environment variable which points to the JDK.
In this and all previous versions of Tomcat, both the logs from Tomcat and from Commons Daemon are stored in "C:\Tomcat7\logs".
After upgrading to Tomcat 7.0.25, I noticed that the logs from Tomcat (e.g. catalina.yyyy-mm-dd.log) are stored in a different folder, "C:\Tomcat7\bin\${catalina.base}\logs", instead of "C:\Tomcat7\logs"; whereas the logs from daemon are still in "C:\Tomcat7\logs".
Note that "${catalina.base}" is the real name of the folder, not just a placeholder.
Is this change intentional? Does that mean that I must any additional environment variable like CATALINA_BASE?
Thanks!
Best Regards,
Konstantin Preißer

To me, it does not look like you did anything wrong, and it looks very much like there is
something wrong in the setup software, like some bad quoting that prevents
'${catalina.base}' to be expanded to its real value.
Which then causes the path to be considered as relative, and made absolute by prefixing it
with 'C:\tomcat7\bin\'.
Of course, that's just my personal opinion.

It appears that procrun 1.0.8 is broken: ++JvmOptions is being treated like --JvmOptions, so the settings of catalina.base and catalina.home in service.bat are getting lost.

That'll be a bug then. Please create a bugzilla entry. If you find the
root cause as well, that would be great. A patch would be even better ;)

I've duplicated the problem on Windows 7 64-bit as well as XP when using service.bat. Haven't yet figured out why the ${catalina.base} references in logging.properties aren't getting resolved.

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

It means you messed up your install. A clean install of 7.0.25 (with the
installer) works fine for me.
