Logs files are not created

[tropyw]

Hello,
In my server, there is only one log file (smartfox.txt) and there's no other logs from previous days. This file is reset at 00:00 every day.
I tried to check in the admin tool to see if there is anything wrong, and this is the configuration (I'm not sure it has anything to do with it):

Am I missing something?
Thanks.

Hi,

Hello,
In my server, there is only one log file (smartfox.txt) and there's no other logs from previous days.

By default logs are generated under the SFS2X/logs/ folder and have a .log extension. It sounds like you have reconfigured the logging system. Although you didn't provide any details as to what changes you've made.

Let us know.
p.s. = the screenshot you have provided is not related with the log configurations.

Thanks for your reply lapo.
I haven't changed anything. I thought it was .txt because it looked like a text file in it's default icon.
in my dev computer it works fine, but at the prod server it dosen't create files.
I wonder if it is related to some administrator permission to create those files (the location is C:\Users\Administrator\SmartFoxServer_2X\SFS2X\logs) although it is in the same location as my dev computer.

Hi,
yes it sounds very much like a permission problem. The fact that the server is installed under an "Administrator" folder also doesn't look too good. Normally you just need to install it under a non-admin User folder (the one corresponding to the user installing it).

Try running the server by launching the SFS2X/sfs2x.bat script, this will output everything to the console, so issues with initializing the logs will show up as well.

Hope it helps

Yes, that's was the problem. Thank you!
