@Edwardo: catalina.base is originally set in the Tomcat startup script catalina.sh or catalina.bat via a -D argument to the java executable. Sorry for the delay in replying.

Is there a way to set the catalina.base automatically? I get null when i do getProperty. I know I can set it in a shell window with export. Is there another alternative location to place the log files?

Thank you very much. I had a lot of issues with log4j before. With your description everything runs fine!

Best regards,
Conrad

Thanks so much for this.

The ‘log4jdsl.txt’ got my logging up and running and then I was able to fix my problem in no time.

Not sure why they like to keep us guessing in the dark for hours on end though. It’s not exactly how I planned to spend my bank holiday!

The 404 error is suspicious - perhaps that’s not a logging issue, but your basic installation is not working at all. Is it *really* deployed properly in Tomcat? Are you running the manager webapp and does it show your app as running? Is it an issue with communication between Apache httpd (webserver) and Tomcat? And the first question really is: does your app work in grails dev mode? i.e. running from the command line like “grails run-app”

Hi,

I have tried exactly the same thing but it does not work. When I deploy on tomcat. tomcat says all is fine etc but I cannot find any logs. Also when I try to access my app through tomcat I get a 404 error.
