Tomcat integration, log file

Hello,

I'm using the Tomcat plugin to run/debug my web app through IDEA.
It works fine to run Tomcat but the logging doesn't seem to work.

If i run the exact same configuration outside of idea (starting tomcat
manually) it logs to the log file i specified in server.xml (catalina
home/logs/mylog-YYYY-MM-DD), which it doesn't with the Tomcat plugin.

The only logs i see with the Tomcat plugin is things i send to standard
out (they appear in the run frame).

I'm using Tomcat 4.0.1 and latest EAP IDEA.

Does anyone have a suggestion of what might be the problem and how to fix?

Thanks in advance,
Johan Isacsson

Hello,
i'm using an absolute path to the logfile and it works with it. Otherwise i guess you have to look into the intellliJIdea/system/]]>/logs directory, there you may find your logs.

Hey,

Thank you for the help, the absolute path approach worked :)
