Change c:\fog.log location?

[maverick2041]

Hi there,

I see this question was asked 2 years ago here:

https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/2572/fog-log-file-location/8

However the answer doesn’t seem to be applicable anymore. I tried creating a “config.ini” file in “C:\Program Files (x86)\Fog\etc” and inserting the line “logfile=c:\logs\fog.log” however the Fog Service still places its log directly at c:\fog.log.

I see also that the fog.log location is mentioned here (below) but I’ve been unable to locate a documented method to change it:

Is it possible to change the location of this file?

Thanks kindly.

Oh jeez, I just noticed the option in the service installer to “Put Log File in Root” which is one way to change it, now just wondering if there’s a supported way to specify another location.

@maverick2041 yes, see here for details: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=FOG_Client

There is no other option. The log can either be at C:\fog.log or in the installation directory.

Thank you both for the quick responses. Very much appreciated.
