Tomcat Java web applications

Changed all instances of "INFO" to "ERROR" in the following config file to reduce disk I/O and CPU load.

nano /home/dspace/config/log4j.properties

Then copied the file to dspace-src config folder.

SOLR

Log level

Please note: The procedure below is not stable, so I installed PSI Probe using the Tomcat manager web interface and now I set the SOLR log level via the web gui after each re-build. See: https://code.google.com/p/psi-probe

See: http://lucidworks.lucidimagination.com/display/solr/Configuring+Logging and https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-1460

Create the following file:

nano /home/dspace/dspace-1.8.2-src-release/dspace/modules/solr/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/classes/logging.properties

Add the following to the file:

 org.apache.commons.digester.Digester.level = WARNING
 org.apache.solr.level = SEVERE

Log file permissions

I setup a root cron crontab as follows.

sudo -i

crontab -e

Add the following line.

@midnight   chmod 0777 -R /home/dspace/log

Save the crontab edit.
