How to correct delete catalina.out?

I couldn't restart Tomcat webserver. But catalina.out get very big. I have tried delete on test server and created new empty. But Tomcat doesn't write anymore in new catalina.out. How correct delete/create empty new one ?

Solution

  • If you are using Gnu/Linux or Mac OS X, you can just do:

    echo "" > catalina.out

    or even shorter:

    > catalina.out
