How do I...Manage log files?

How do I disable the logs in $WIKI_DIR/bin/logs?

Since /var/log/deki-api.log contains all the log information you'll need, you can easily disable the logs in $WIKI_DIR/bin/logs by doing the following:

Edit:  $WIKI_DIR/bin/mindtouch.host.exe.config and comment out (or delete) these lines:

<!-- <appender-ref ref="RollingFile-trace" /> -->
<!-- <appender-ref ref="RollingFile-info" /> -->
<!-- <appender-ref ref="RollingFile-warn" /> --> 

Then restart dekihost for the changes to take affect:

/etc/init.d/dekihost restart

How do I change the location of /var/log/deki-api.log?

To move the deki-api.log to a different directory (for example: /var/log/dekiwiki/deki-api.log) do the following:

mkdir /var/log/dekiwiki
chown www-data /var/log/dekiwiki  

Edit:  $WIKI_DIR/bin/mindtouch.host.sh and change the following:

LOGFILE="/var/log/deki-api.log"

to:

LOGFILE="/var/log/dekiwki/deki-api.log"

Finally, restart dekihost for the changes to take affect:

/etc/init.d/dekihost restart

How do I rotate my dekiwiki log using logrotate?

In a text editor, create the following file:  /etc/logrotate.d/dekiwki

# rotate the dekiwiki api log daily
/var/log/deki-api.log {
        daily
        rotate 7
        missingok
        copytruncate
        compress
}

To test the log rotation you can do:

logrotate -f /etc/logrotate.d/dekiwki
