No localhost logging in solaris

[mlido]

I use this logging.properties file to configure java util logging in tomcat.
When a servlet throws a ServletException in the init() method it is shown in the file localhost.<date>.log like this:
INFO: startup: WCES: admin started
2009-sep-09 13:44:56 org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationContext log
INFO: startup: WCES: Initializing data access before log4j...
2009-sep-09 13:44:56 org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationContext log
INFO: startup: WCES home path:E:\Projects\Workspaces\Wces\.metadata\.plugin s\org.eclipse.wst.server.core\tmp0\wtpwebapps\wces Admin\WEB-INF
2009-sep-09 13:44:57 org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext loadOnStartup
SEVERE: Servlet /wcesAdmin threw load() exception
javax.servlet.ServletException: Bad data for parameter 'uploadDir', directory did not exist: /WEB-INF/config2

This works perfectly in windows, but when I do the same thing in solaris (same properties file) the localhost.<date>.log file is empty. Tomcat does not write anything in the file. Does anyone knows what the problem is?

Please check if the user running tomcat has write permissions in ${catalina.base}/logs.

Dear mlido,

The log lines you posted confuse me. Are they from the Windows machine or the Solaris machine?
