Laravel log max file is not working

Question

I am using laravel 5.2, I just deployed my code on server. I am using laravel logs on the daily basis and so in the confg/app.php i added these two lines

'log' => 'daily'
'log_max_files' => 15 

But it is not keeping the logs of 15 days. It is always keeping the logs of last 5 days only which is default file size. Am i missing something to add..?

Answer 1

First of all you should run

php artisan config:cache

to cache your configuration.

In addition you should run

php artisan queue:restart

to make sure your queue workers will see the changes.

Additionally you should make sure there are valid permissions to log files to make it possible to delete them.

Answer 2

You have to run this command on your terminal

php artisan config:cache
