Dimitrij Denissenko h1. Logfiles Retrospectiva - as a RubyOnRails application - comes with a built-in logger. All messages are usually written to the *log/production.log* file (unless you are not running in +production+ mode). You can open and read the file using a simple text editor. To monitor the current processing of your installation, go to your Retrospectiva directory and type {{{ tail -f log/production.log }}} h1. General Before you despair, Retrospectiva comes together with a small diagnostics tool called +*fix*+. If you want to test your installation for possible error sources just run the script *with the user account that will later run the application on the web*. It you (for example) run your application using Webrick or Mongrel as @hugo@, you need to use the following example: {{{ su hugo -c "ruby script/fix" }}} If you run Retrospectiva within Apache+FCGI, your executing user account will most likely be @www-data@. In that case the +right+ command would be: {{{ su www-data -c "ruby script/fix" }}} 2007-03-20T08:03:22+00:00 2010-01-15T21:42:54+00:00 9
