My production.log was getting big, so I deleted on my server. And  
after running another cap deploy, the production.log file was  
regenerated but now the file is not being written to (it stays blank).  
How can I get my log file to work again? Thanks.

Maybe you need to chmod the file, give it write permission 🙂

chmod 0777
