#67 Logging of error messages not working

[Mike Burns]

I'm using FileLocker Version 2.4.5, CherryPy 3.1.12, and Apache 2 proxy on RHEL 6.3. I haven't been able to get the logging messages (logging.debug()) to print to a file or to stderr/stdout. Normal python print commands work fine in that if I start webFilelocker2.py attached to the current terminal session I see the print statement messages displayed in the terminal. I haven't been able to get the logging.whatever() messages saved or displayed anywhere. I've tested some sample python logging facility code I found at python coding sites and that code writes to a file just fine so this should work.

My filelocker.conf file has the following lines in it

log.screen=False
log.access_file="/var/log/filelocker2/cherrypy.access.log"
log.error_file="/var/log/filelocker2/cherrypy.error.log"
logdir = "/var/log/filelocker2"
loglevel=10

I've tried setting log.screen=True while running it in a terminal window and that didn't seem to make a difference either. If I add a statement like the following

logging.debug("[system] [in def start()] [just trying to get anything logged!!]")

to webFilelocker2.py after the cherrypy engine has started
I'm expecting to see this line in the cherrypy.error.log, but I don't. The only lines that show up there look like CherryPy messages:

I'm a python novice. Did I miss something simple?

Use cherrypy.log.error()

Closing this as it's not a bug in Filelocker.
