I’m running an app under Apache/FastCGI and am trying to look at any log output. However no output to any of the logs is being done by the app! I have the app set to development mode. I deleted all of the log files in the log directory and no new logs are being created (I assume that the app will create the logs as required). What’s going on here? Is there some sort of configuration for turning logs on and off? ---

Is the log directory writeable for the FCGI (Apache) user? – Norman T. [http://blog.inlet-media.de](http://blog.inlet-media.de) ---

I’m not sure if this is your issue, but I’ve witnessed this problem when the DB config was wrong - server start up would simply die with no logs at all.
