Change the log directory

I need to run tomcat using security policy parameter

well I think there is some issue about app accessing tomcat dir, so I would like to change log dir, is it possible?

Thank you

BR

It seems to be necessary some configurations in Mango in order to get it running under security manager policy.

Does anyone know anything about that?

Just grant write access to dir ${catalina.base}/logs/.

It is not possible for me to grant write access to dir ${catalina.base}/logs/ due our server policy.

Is there any other solution?
How can I change the log directory to the webapps dir?

I realized that Mango may not run under security policy even granting write access to Tomcat log directory.

Does anyone know why?

Hi, I tried it once, it is awful slow...

you have to grant nearly everything, look at the exceptions

Arne

Hi apl, thank for reply.

Actually I am not an expert and even looking at the exceptions I could not solve it. As I recall it was about Log manager and Log handler permissions.

Could you please tell me if I can grant this permissions without changing any files on tomcat dir? I have access to the webapps dir only.

many thanks again.

Hi,

this is tomcat specific, so you may get better help at the tomcat website/forums... or even books are sold ;-)

Maybe you ask the people that forced you to run tomcat with policies to solve your problems ;-)

If you have your own instance (installation) of tomcat you can change the log dir in the configs - for this see my last post.
