Janus Logs,Custom Log location

[Kinsley Kajiva]

Hi , so i have trying to set new custom path to record janus logs for example on ubuntu 

/home/januslogs/janus-new.log , as soon as i  set this in the janus.jcfg file and restart the server it fails to run or restart, yes i have uncommented. 

also can one create logs with time stamps to the file for example creating a new file for a new day to log

Just tested and it works as expected. The cause for the fail to start may be different, so check the console for errors. Also, make sure there are no permission errors trying to create the log file.

Ok thank you for the quick response : 

 so I have added more permission but it still failed , I have run this  command

1. sudo chmod -R 777  /home/variable-k/janus.log   
2. sudo chmod a+rwx /home/variable-k/janus.log

both still fail , I get this  :

The error seems pretty obvious to me. As I said in my previous reply, make sure it's not a permission error.

It is problem with a user that runs janus and dirs you try to write to, not the mods.

So you have to use chown on that dir
