Log is missing/not logging

Hi and thank you for reading this, i have some problems with my owncloud installation as you can see below, fact is i tried to set up a logrotate to take the log and archive it to not have a huge log to read through and find errors faster.

I’m medium experienced with serverside debian stuff and try to do it on my own, set up all the stuff and this is my first post here, sorry if it’s a bit scrambled.

Thanks a lot.

Steps to reproduce

  1. ?
  2. ?

Expected behaviour

Owncloud logging in /etc/www/owncloud/data/owncloud.log

Actual behaviour

Owncloud log missing, not being written or something like that

Hey,

i think the “etc” part of this path is not correct. You probably need to look into /var/www/owncloud/data/owncloud.log.

Oops, typo! meant that!

root@Debian:~# ls /var/www/owncloud/data/ |grep log
owncloud.log
owncloud.log.1
root@Debian:~# cat /var/www/owncloud/data/owncloud.log
root@Debian:~#

it’s an empty file :confused:

Hey,

maybe there is currently nothing what ownCloud needs to be logged into this file? My own owncloud.log is nearly empty as well and i have found only a few entries from my last successful update from ownCloud 10.1.0 to 10.1.1.

SMB error should be logged, ney?
I at least hope so!

Hey,

unfortunately i’m not familiar with SMB so i can’t answer you this question. Maybe you need to adjust the loglevel of ownCloud within the config.php to a lower level to get more logging?

loglevel is set at 0!
i’m so sorry for producing such an stupid error xD
