Enabling logging in Gitblit .war ( gitblit is working fine over https)

[ruisse...@gmail.com]

Hello,
I've deployed Gitblit .war on Tomcat 7, Redhat 7.

Everything is working fine (clone over https etc), but I also want to enable Active Directory integration.

So I configured:

[root@server ~]# cat /var/lib/tomcat/webapps/gitblit/WEB-INF/data/gitblit.properties
# GITBLIT.PROPERTIES
# SINCE 1.7.0
include = defaults.properties
# Define your overrides or custom settings below
realm.userService=com.gitblit.LdapUserService
lm.ldap.server = ldaps://ad.local:636
realm.ldap.username = svc_ldap
realm.ldap.password = password
realm.ldap.accountBase = CN=svc_ldap,OU=Administrative,DC=company,DC=local
realm.ldap.groupBase = OU=Administrative,DC=company,DC=local
realm.ldap.accountPattern = (&(objectClass=person)(sAMAccountName=${username}))
realm.ldap.groupMemberPattern = (&(objectClass=group)(member=${dn}))
realm.ldap.displayName = displayName
realm.ldap.email = mail

The problem is that I only have my tomcat log files in /var/log/tomcat and there are no gitblit log files.

I've read something about configuring log4j, but the log files are not created. How do I get this to work?
I tried

[root@server ~]# cat /etc/sysconfig/tomcat | grep log4
JAVA_OPTS="-Djdk.tls.ephemeralDHKeySize=2048 -Dconfig.location=file -Dlog4j.configuration=file:///var/lib/tomcat/webapps/gitblit/WEB-INF/classes/log4j.properties"

The documentation is not clear about where to place the log4j.properties and how to enable it properly.
I also placed it in /var/lib/tomcat/webapps/gitblit/WEB-INF/data/ and /var/lib/tomcat/webapps/gitblit/WEB-INF/lib but no luck.

I'm using this log4j.properties file:

When you run Gitblit in a servlet container (e.g. Tomcat) the log output (by default) goes to the container, in this case catalina.out, I think.

Thanks for your comment....
Actually it doesn't. I get all the tomcat logs in catalina.out, but no gitblit. (The only message I got is "deploying gitblit.war......" )
I really need those log files.

The following link describes log4j configuration, but I don't know how to enable it outside the war file itself.
