Server.xml file

[Kyle D. Harris]

In making my server.xml file from scratch, im going off a website. Here is part of the server.xml file .. My question is if anybody can explain to me what they mean by "your engine" and "your domain" below. If you can give an example of what they mean, that'd be good. Thanks


prefix="catalina_log." suffix=".txt"
timestamp="true"/>

Are they talking about for Engine like "standalone" and for domain like "localhost"... ???

[Olivier Drouin]

engine name can be an arbitrary value ( stock, it is "Standalone") . You can then use it to reference the engine in the rest of the file.

Normally defaultHost would be "localhost".

I dont think you should create it from scratch *unless* you know what you're doing.

Well actually i have NO clue what i'm doing. I just go off this site:

http://www.meritonlinesystems.com/docs/apache_tomcat_redhat.html

Part 4.2

It is pretty good barney style and word for word so i've been going off that.

Ok, nice.
Try replacing your_engine by Standalone and you_domain by localhost

I would also add

directory="logs" prefix="localhost_access_log." suffix=".txt"
pattern="%h %l %u %t %r %s %b %H %p" resolveHosts="false"/>



between and so you have an access log.
