[SOLVED] Missing application.log on Windows 7

Yii 1.1 Installation and Setup
1

Hi,

Can someone provide some advice for a newcomer?

application.log file does not exist in blog/protected/runtime/

 Running Windows XAMPP on Windows 7





 Windows file permissions set wide open for the runtime directory (Everyone/All Access).





 XAMPP is in C:\XAMPP





 Application (blog) is in D:\yii\blog





 Framework is in D:\yii\yii-1.1.8.r.3324





 Alias's are set in C:\xampp\apache\conf\alias  for :





       Alias /YiiRoot "D:\Yii\yii-1.1.8.r3324"


       Alias /YiiBlog "D:\Yii\blog"

I have been able to set up and run the application from localhost/YiiBlog/index.php

However, can not get authentication step to work in the blog tutorial and while troubleshooting, I realized that the CFileLogRoute is not outputting anything to the /protected/runtime directory as it should.

I was however able to get the CWebLogRoute to work.

I set up config/main.php like so:

‘log’=>array(

		'class'=>'CLogRouter',


		'routes'=>array(


			


                            array(


				'class'=>'CFileLogRoute',


				'levels'=>'error, warning, info',


			),


                            


			// uncomment the following to show log messages on web pages


			


			array(


				'class'=>'CWebLogRoute',


			),


                            


			


		),


	),

I’ll show you my settings:


        'log' => array(

            'class' => 'CLogRouter',

            'routes' => array(

                array(

                    'class' => 'CFileLogRoute',

                    'levels' => 'trace',

                    'categories' => 'custom',

                    'logPath' => dirname(__FILE__) . '/../../log/',

                    'logFile' => date("Ymd") . '.log',

                ),

            ),

        ),

I hope this is useful 4 u.

THANK YOU!!

I added the ‘trace’ value to levels and the log showed up where it was supposed to be.

(Apparently, the default blog demo code does not log trace messages.)
