I bet my Halloween candy that the directory, c:/logs/, didn't exist prior to
starting Tomcat.  Log4j doesn't create directories if they don't already exist.
 I just tried it and it works fine.  If said directory does exist, then the
working path for tomcat is not on the same drive as your "logs" directory.
