access & error logs going to /var/log/iwui, iw-webd.conf is overwritten on iw.server stop/st

witness_content

Hello,

I have logs configured ( during install ) to a custom location on the server.

Ex: /logs/instance/env

However access and error logs still go to /var/log/iwui. which is understandable because

/Interwoven/TeamSite/iw-webd/conf/iwwebd.conf has the locations as such.

ErrorLog "/var/log/iwui/error.log"

similarly the custom log is also in the same path.

If I update this to my custom path, it is getting overwritten when I do a TS stop/start.

Should I just update the iwwebd.conf.template file with my custom path? or elsewhere.

Thanks for your help.

Yes, modify the .template file. If you look inside the iwwebd.conf file, it explains:

                                                      ##
##               Automatically generated file!                        ##
##                 ALL changes will be lost.                          ##
##                   You have been warned.

Thanks,

Heather

Hi Heather,

Thanks for pointing me in the direction.

As mentioned, I did update the .template ( but with hard coded value of log path) and that did not seem to work. Not just writing the logs to hard coded path, but it did not even bring up the UI.

So, had to revert the changes and UI is back up and working.

Will have to look into apache configs and see where is the variable __IWWEBD_LOGS__ is coming from:

CustomLog "__IWWEBD_LOGS__/access__IWLOG_EXT__" common

#CustomLog "/logs/apps/content/iwui" common

and similarly have to apply the changes to ErrorLog.

Thanks.

Even the following change of piped rotaion logs did not help as yet.

CustomLog "| /logs/apps/content/iwui __IWWEBD_LOGS__/access__IWLOG_EXT__.%Y%m%d 1800" common

iwreset -ui did work fine and app is back up, But I did not see logs rotated after half hour.

My mistake. I figured it out after staring to apache documentation for length. ( I was only staring- not thinnking)

This is wrong.

CustomLog "| /logs/apps/content/iwui __IWWEBD_LOGS__/access__IWLOG_EXT__.%Y%m%d 1800" common

Changed to

CustomLog "| /iw-home/iw-webd/bin/rotatelogs /logs/apps/content/iwui/access__IWLOG_EXT__.%Y%m%d 1800" common

Now its all tandy-dandy ! .
