Re[6]: Where are the log files...

[Jack L <jl...@yahoo.ca>]

Hello Chris,

Yes, I do see the logs printed to the console. Since it's a unix
box, I then close the terminal after starting up solr. When a problem
happens, such as that solr no longer responds, I hope to be able to
to check the log files to see what happened.

It's probably a Java logger setting problem. I just saw Brian's reply.
I'll give that a try.

ah ... okay, i understand where you are coming from.  at a minimum i would
change your "startup" methodology to include redirecting stderr/stdour to
afile so you don't completley lose the console when closing the terminal
used to start the process.  but in general i would look into how to
configure java standard logging of webapps in Jetty .. the settings you
found in the jetty.xml probably only relate to logging from the core Jetty
classes.

his suggestions looked like they make sense for standalone java apps, but
when running in a servlet container it may not always work -- the servlet
container is totally within it's purview to do things that may prevent
techniques like that from working.  breifly skimming this webpage leads me
to believe Jetty won't interfeer with any JDK logging properties you may
choose to set, so it would probably work fine.
