Volumio log file path

Help and Support Help

Hi,

Can someone tell me where the log file for volumio 2.030 is? In /etc/mpd.conf the log file path is commented out

[code]# Volumio MPD Configuration File

Files and directories

music_directory “/var/lib/mpd/music”
playlist_directory “/var/lib/mpd/playlists”
db_file “/var/lib/mpd/tag_cache”
#log_file “/var/log/mpd/mpd.log”
pid_file “/var/run/mpd/pid”
[/code]

And in /var/log/volumio.log I have some log files but they are months old.

Also in mpd.conf I see log level is also commented out. Does this mean logging is disabled by default?

#log_level                      "default"

The mpd.log file is indeed commented out, but no reason why you shouldn’t uncomment it if you want to. My volumio.log contains recent entries, so I’m not sure why yours does not. Try updating to the latest version (2.041) and see if it makes any difference.

Turns out the log file was in the default: /var/log/volumio.log but the date time was completely off. Not sure why it wasn’t sync’d but I manually set it using the date command

Crisis averted…
