debian lenny, squeeze trac file logging failure

[jfeltz@…]

I've set the following in the trac.ini of an environment created with trac-admin and ran with tracd by the same user.

[logging]
 log_file = trac.log
 log_level = DEBUG
 log_type = file

To reiterate, on both lenny and squeeze, I've

1. ~$ sudo apt-get install trac
2. ~$ trac-admin temp initenv
3. ~$ changed the appropriate setting in temp/conf/trac.ini
4. ~$ tracd -p 6666 temp

No log file appears anywhere in temp, touching temp/trac.log has no effect.

Attempted with debian packages:

• trac 0.11.1-2.1
• trac 0.11.7-3

Any and all help is appreciated.

Sorry, please excuse the formatting and assume that there are the appropriate linebreaks in the config.

[logging] file specifies a file below <tracenv>/log, not below <tracenv>. So you should verify the permissions for that directory.

But neither TracLogging nor TracIni#logging-section are explicit about this, we should fix that.

[jfeltz@…]

The permissions are that of the user, whom has full r/w to all directories within temp, recursive. I tried to make this obvious at first by stating that the user which created the env with trac-admin is the same that ran tracd (all of this was done in the users /home/users dir on a basic debian install). No log file is present in the location you described.

Explicit mentions of relative paths added in [10133] and TracLogging@15.
