Hello, I got this problem that the catalina.out file gets too big. It grows to a size of approx. 6 gig and then tomcat just crashes. Does anyone know how configure tomcat on linux so that catalina.out only get a size of 100 MB and then replaces it by a new empty catalina.out? Please any help will be more than welcome!

Hi
You forgot to mention the Tomcat version.
Tomcat's default logger ( as specified in the server.xml file ) is its own basic logger. It can put the current date into the log file name, which will result in writing to a new file each day. But the old files will not be automatically removed.
Is recommended to change that logger to a more complex one, like log4j. There are quite good descriptions on minaret.biz :
Feherke.
