Hi Fritz,
is this the only way to use stupid_log_files?
" $ python1.5.2 z2.py ZSYSLOG_SERVER="syslog.mydomain.com:514" \ STUPID_FILE_LOGGER=var/Zope.log" "
i got this from: http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Misc/LOGGING.txt or can i put this in a config file? i looked inside z2.py and found no place to put it.
Well, sort of. First of all, as noted here http://lists.zope.org/pipermail/zope/2000-February/103384.html, STUPID_FILE_LOGGER is incorrect (somebody really ought to fix that). The correct environment variable name is STUPID_LOG_FILE. Secondly, I'm not sure it makes sense to turn on both local and remote logging as (it seems to me) this example does. I'll address the local logging, since that's the only one I'm sure of. Since you don't want to turn it on all the time (eats up resources and slows down your production server), the best way to enable it is to set this environment variable somewhere, like perhaps your ./start script, something like: #! /bin/sh reldir=`dirname $0` PYTHONHOME=`cd $reldir; pwd` export PYTHONHOME STUPID_LOG_FILE=/$PYTHONHOME/var/Zope.log export STUPID_LOG_FILE exec /$PYTHONHOME/bin/python \ $PYTHONHOME/z2.py "$@" then when you want to start debug logging, run zope like this: ./start -D & For more logging options, there's also a -M switch for verbose logging in z2.py, with a nice (wow, brand new as I was writing this!) utility available here http://www.zope.org/Members/mcdonc/HowTos/DEBUG-LOG, for analysis.
what am i supposed to expect here? i tried the command line approach but i was looking for the file and i don't think it create the file. or is it gonna be create when the first error comes?
You got nothing for two reasons. One, you followed instructions and unfortunately set the wrong environment variable. Two, you probably didn't turn on debugging by launching zope with the -D switch. Don't forget to background it with the &, because -D causes zope _not_ to detach from the console when starting. And at the risk of sounding repetitious, running a production site with the -D switch is not recommended procedure. Do it to collect information, then turn it off when you have enough.
