I used to start tomcat from its bin folder with the startup.bat. By running that script it opened a java window in which I can see the outputs from tomcat. However, I’ve been told that this is not the right way to start tomcat on a windows server. Therefore I start tomcat now over the service program. By doing so no java window is being opened anymore and therefore I can’t see the output msg from tomcat.
I have also looked into the logs folder of tomcat. Those saved outputs are not the same as the one I had/have in java window. Does anyone know where I can find those outputs?
Many thanks in advance for any advices.
If we assume your install is in C:\program files\apache software foundation\apache-tomcat{ver}\
then it is inside, in the log directory, in a file catalina.out.
It’s worth to note the name of the file depends on your configuration, also the name of the logs directory can be different depending on configuration but I assume you preserved default config.
