Tomcat Logs [message #233671]

Hi I'm sorry if this has been asked before. I did a search on the subject
of Tomcat logs and couldn't find the answer.

I've created a jsp page in Eclipse 3.3.0. I'm running it with Tomcat
5.5.27 on Mac OS X 10.5 and the page isn't appearing. I'm seeing the 500
error page with two stack traces. On the bottom in the area marked note
it says "The full stack trace of the root cause is available in the Apache
Tomcat/5.5.27 logs".

I see the directory where the web application has been deployed - it's
inside of wtpwebapps. And in the parent directory of wtpwebapps I see a
directory called "logs" but it's empty.

Where can I find the Tomcat system logs when I'm running with Eclipse?

Thanks.

On Windows, my Tomcat logs fall on the path c:\Program Files\Apache
Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0\logs because that's where I installed Tomcat.

There is a lot of ways that Tomcat logging can be configured, which may
cause issues with server creation in WTP. Thus, the Tomcat support in
WTP basically punts on this issue. For some info about logging in
Tomcat 5.5, see
http://wiki.eclipse.org/WTP_Tomcat_FAQ#How_do_I_enable_the_J ULI_logging_in_a_Tomcat_5.5_Server_instance.3F.

What logging you get by default goes to the Console view.

Cheers,
Larry

Yes. That's where I can find them if I am not working in Eclipse. But I
couldn't find them there working in Eclipse. Thanks for your help though.

Thanks Larry. I followed the instructions on that page and I was able to
see the log files generated in the logs directory of the parent directory
of wtpwebapps.
