Codeigniter not logging

Question

I can't seem to figure out why codeigniter isn't logging my log_messages

In Config:

$config['log_threshold'] = 4;
$config['log_path'] = '/var/log/mydlp.log';

In script:

log_message('error','here');

File location:

-rw-rw-rw- 1 root  root    0 2012-12-05 13:10 mydlp.log

I'm not getting anything when I get to the log message.

Here's my directory structure for /var and /var/log

 drwxr-xr-x  6 root root  4096 2012-12-05 13:10 log
 drwxr-xr-x  14 root root  4096 2012-01-04 14:38 var

Am I doing something wrong here?

Answer 1

the problem is SELinux check this post.

you try this:

# Ownership
sudo chown apache:apache -R /data/www/html/sites/mysite
cd /data/www/html/sites/mysite

# File permissions, recursive
find . -type f -exec chmod 0644 {} \;

# Dir permissions, recursive
find . -type d -exec chmod 0755 {} \;

# SELinux serve files off Apache, resursive
sudo chcon -t httpd_sys_content_t /data/www/html/sites/mysite -R

# Allow write only to specific dirs
sudo chcon -t httpd_sys_rw_content_t /data/www/html/sites/mysite/logs -R
sudo chcon -t httpd_sys_rw_content_t /data/www/html/sites/mysite/uploads -R

$config['log_path'] is supposed to be a path to a directory, not a file. CI writes its own files in the format log-2012-12-05.php. Try a path to a directory, and make sure to include a trailing slash.

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Error Logging Directory Path
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Leave this BLANK unless you would like to set something other than the default
| application/logs/ folder. Use a full server path with trailing slash.

*/
$config['log_path'] = '/var/log/ci_logs/';
