Check out doc/LOGGING.txt in your Zope installation - in particular the bits dealing with STUPID_FILE_LOGGER if you want to log to a file. Best place for setting the environment variables is in Zope's start script, or in Zope.cgi if Zope is being started through this mechanism.
(An aside, surely these go+w permissions on Data.fs and var are dangerous in terms of a local user destroying my ZODB?). Can
Sure are.
I somehow test Zope logging from the python command line by importing Zope and calling a logging function directly?
Its possible - but I have never bothered :-) It also wouldn't help much, as what you need to test is the settings Zope is using when running (eg. the STUPID_FILE_LOGGER env variable is set correctly, or ZSYSLOG_SERVER is pointing to the correct machine). If you are able to restart Zope, run it in debug mode and see what happens. In debug mode, messages sent to the log system are displayed on the console. You can use this to test the Logger product, and subsequently your Zope logging settings. -- ___ // Zen (alias Stuart Bishop) Work: zen@cs.rmit.edu.au // E N Senior Systems Alchemist Play: zen@shangri-la.dropbear.id.au //__ Computer Science, RMIT WWW: http://www.cs.rmit.edu.au/~zen
