Where are logs located?

问题:

I'm debugging a JSON endpoint and need to view internal server errors. However, my app/storage/logs dir is empty and it seems there are no other directories dedicated to logs in the project. I've tried googling the subject to no avail.

How can I enable logging, if it's not already enabled and view the logs?

回答1:

• Ensure debug mode is on - either add APP_DEBUG=true to .env file or set an environment variable

• Log files are in storage/logs folder. laravel.log is the default filename. If there is a permission issue with the log folder, Laravel just halts. So if your endpoint generally works - permissions are not an issue.

• In case your calls don't even reach Laravel or aren't caused by code issues - check web server's log files (check your Apache/nginx config files to see the paths).

• If you use PHP-FPM, check its log files as well (you can see the path to log file in PHP-FPM pool config).

You should be checking the root directory and not the app directory.

Look in $ROOT/storage/laravel.log not app/storage/laravel.log, where root is the top directory of the project.
