title: Tomcat doesn't log to catalina.out, nor does it create log file I specified
body: <p>I've got CentOS 7 installed on my machine (Basic Web Server with Java Servlet Engine - Tomcat), and I have Spring Boot app. If I build my app as a jar, and run it on server with <code>java -jar my_app.jar</code>, the app starts fine, and logs to file specified in application.properties (logging.file). But, after converting app to war packaging (using <a href="https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/howto-traditional-deployment.html#howto-create-a-deployable-war-file" rel="nofollow">this tutorial</a>), and deploying it to tomcat, app is running but tomcat doesn't log to file I specified, nor does it log in catalina.out</p>
  
  <p>Both catalina.home and catalina.base point to <code>/usr/share/tomcat/</code> folder. Also, I can't acces <code>/usr/share/tomcat/logs</code> even though I'm admin and using <code>sudo</code>. Only thing written in <code>catalina.out</code> is: <code>tomcat-7.0.54 RPM installed</code>. I've checked that as a root user. Might be permission problem, don't know. Normally, I would use logger to check for problems, but, as I've said, relevant logs are non-existent.</p>
  
  <p>Has anyone expirienced similar issue, or knows the solution?</p>
