Redmine

Hey everyone!

So I've been reading these forums¹ and the installation documentation regarding how to change the default location of the production.log file from <install_dir>/log/production.log to something else, e.g. a log dir outside the installation directory.

And all the information I've found in the forums seems outdated. Or I am not interpreting it correctly.

So, in the latest version of Redmine 5.0-stable as of today, I am configuring the config/additional_environment.rb with the following content:

# Logger.new(PATH, NUM_FILES_TO_ROTATE, FILE_SIZE)
config.logger = Logger.new('{{ redmine_log }}/production.log')
config.logger.level = Logger::INFO

I am omitting the number of files to rotate and the file size because I want to handle that using logrotate. I don't want to create a different log file, but to move the location of the default one.

Questions:

1. Is the configuration above correct to achieve what I've described?
2. Which variable can I use to set the file name to the environment, e.g. production in this case?
3. What happened to config.log_path and config.paths['log']? I cannot seem to find references to that in the source code. Has it been changed? Where in the source code is the default logger set?

Thanks in advance.
