I am running a Spring app on Apache Tomcat 7 and am having a problem where the server is failing to start. The log in the console looks like this:

log4j:WARN See http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/faq.html#noconfig for more info.

There are no errors but the server will eventually time out and fail to start.

This has occurred before and it was a problem with the database and since our DBA has been working on our database I suspect that’s the problem again. However, without an error message it’s really hard to troubleshoot this. Can anyone help me find how to change or configure logging so that I can find exactly what my problem is?

Ceby,

You can increase the logging level in the tomcat dir/conf/logging.properties file for org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[Catalina].[localhost].level to FINE (or higher depending on your requirement) instead of INFO.

Please see here for more details about the logging levels. Similar issue with logging is discussed here.

Hope this helps. Please let us know if you have any further questions.
