In most Tomcat configurations, the console output goes to TOMCAT_HOME/logs/catalina.out.

I don't know enough about the platform you're running on. What OS? Which Tomcat download?

[prakash pawar]

hi

OS is WindowsXp
Tomcat is apache-tomcat-6.0.24

[Tim Holloway]

I was afraid of that. You're probably running Tomcat as a Windows Service. Mostly I run Tomcat on Linux, and on the rare occasions I do run it on Windows, I'm manually operating it from the command line, so I never studied up on how it hooks into the Service Manager.

Prakash, they seem to have a FAQ for this one Where are the logs when running Tomcat as a Windows service?
