Fixing tomcat-users.xml.new error

Error is javax.naming.NamingException: /usr/share/tomcat5/conf/tomcat-users.xml.new (Permission denied)

1. chown tomcat:tomcat /etc/tomcat5 (NB. /usr/share/tomcat5/conf is a symlink to /etc/tomcat5)

Changing to use log4j logging

1. Ensure log4j.jar and commons-logging.jar (or symlinks to them) are present is /usr/share/tomcat5/common/lib
2. Create file /usr/share/tomcat5/common/classes/log4j.properties with contents:

   log4j.rootLogger=INFO, FileAppender
   
   log4j.appender.FileAppender=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
   log4j.appender.FileAppender.File=/var/log/tomcat5/tomcat.log
   log4j.appender.FileAppender.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
   # Print the date in ISO 8601 format
   log4j.appender.FileAppender.layout.ConversionPattern=%d [%t] %-5p %c - %m%n
   log4j.appender.FileAppender.MaxFileSize=1MB
   log4j.appender.FileAppender.MaxBackupIndex=4
   
   #log4j.logger.org.apache=DEBUG
   

3. Comment out Logger section in /usr/share/tomcat5/conf/server.xml
4. Create empty file /var/log/tomcat5/tomcat.log (tomcat complains without this, for some reason)
