Changing the Component's Log Directory
This issue is intended for advanced users who want to change the directory for storing Zend component
Log files.
By default, component logs are written to the directory specified in the directive zend.log_dir in the
ZendGlobalDirectives.ini file located in /etc/conf.d/ZendGlobalDirectives.ini .
If you change the path, the following components will write their logs to the new location:
458
monitor.log
monitor_node.log
monitor_zdo.log
page_cache.log
Linux
To Change the Log directory in Linux:
1. Create the new logs directory with write permissions in order to be able to write the logs
in the new directory.
2. The new directory has to be owned by the Apache NOBODY user profile and belong to
the file system group zend. To move the directory to the zend group run the following
command as user root:
chown -r [Apache-user]:zend [new directory]
3. Open /etc/conf.d/ZendGglobalDdirectives.ini and change the value of
zend.log_dir to the new log directory
4. Run zendctl.sh stop and zendctl.sh start to apply the changes, this script is located in
/bin/
Now the log files for the Zend Page Cache and Zend Monitor components will be written to the new
location. This means that some log files such as Apache and PHP, will still be written to the default
directory (/var/log)
