How to enable debug logging on the iFolder server

If you need to see more of what is happening on the iFolder server to troubleshoot sync, or performance issues, you need to set the server logging to debug.

Change the iFolder log settings in the following:

 <data store>/simias/Simias.log4net (change "INFO" to "DEBUG" see red indicator below)

<data store> indicates where your data store resides. Default location is /var/simias/data

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<configuration>

  <log4net>

    <appender name="RollingLogFile" type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender">

      <file value="/media/nss/iFolder/simias/log/Simias.log" />

      <rollingStyle value="size" />

      <appendToFile value="true" />

      <maximumFileSize value="10MB" />

      <maxSizeRollBackups value="10" />

      <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">

        <conversionPattern value="%d [%t] %-5p %c - %m%n" />

      </layout>

    </appender>

    <root>

      <level value="INFO" />

      <appender-ref ref="RollingLogFile" />

    </root>

    <appender name="AccessLogFile" type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender">

      <file value="/media/nss/iFolder/simias/log/Simias.access.log" />

      <rollingStyle value="size" />

      <appendToFile value="true" />

      <maximumFileSize value="10MB" />

      <maxSizeRollBackups value="10" />

      <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">

        <header value="#version: 1.0&#xA;#Fields:**date**time**method**status**user**uri**id**&#xA;" />

      </layout>

    </appender>

    <logger name="AccessLogger" additivity="false">

      <level value="INFO" />

      <appender-ref ref="AccessLogFile" />

    </logger>

  </log4net>

</configuration>

After saving the change to the Simias.log4net, restart Apache (rcapache2 restart) to initiate debug logging. 

The iFolder log file is located <data store>/simias/log/Simias.log
