Tomcat, Windows, Garbage Collector Log Problem

I don't know if this has happened to anyone or if anybody who has encountred this been able to solve this problem. So far I have tried everything from installing into three different machines, tweaking the configurations etc., but I still haven't been able to produce or find the garbage collector logfile.

Looking at different message boards there are still people who have encountered the same problem as I have and yet no answer was given or found.

Here is how I installed and started Tomcat. (Windows 2003 Server, Tomcat 5.0, Java 1.4.2)
1. Installed Java and set JAVA_HOME path
2. Installed Tomcat as a service
3. Edited the Apache Tomcat Properties->Java->Java Options and Added the following
1st setup : -verbose:gc -Xprof -XX:+PrintGCTimeStamps -XX:+PrintGCDetails
2nd setup : -Xloggc:gc.log -Xprof -XX:+PrintGCTimeStamps -XX:+PrintGCDetails
3rd setup : -Xloggc:gc.log -verbose:gc -Xprof -XX:+PrintGCTimeStamps -XX:+PrintGCDetails

4. Started Tomcat


After starting tomcat according to the pages and message board that I have visited you should be able to see garbage collection log either in the stdout.log file or the gc.log file which you set in -Xlogg:. However, I searched the whole system for the file gc.log to no avail. If anyone has encountered this problem and has a clue or found a solution how to do this. Help would be greatly appreciated.
