Syslog logging not working

[Massimo <massimo.b@…>]

Hi,

according to TracLogging enabling syslog should use /dev/log.

I'm using metalog, and like to switch logging to syslog for central rotation and compression. But it does not receive any log from Trac.

That socket is there:

srw-rw-rw- 1 root root 0 Feb  2 10:01 /dev/log=

Nginx which serves the Trac via uWSGI here itself is able to log to syslog like this:

error_log syslog:server=unix:/dev/log info;

This is Trac 1.0.3.

The logging section looks like:

[logging]
log_level = DEBUG
log_type = syslog

But metalog does not receive anything from Trac.

An InstallationIssue. Works for me with Trac 1.0.3 on Ubuntu 12.04.
