Log folder

[Arif Butt]

Hi there

is it possible to change logs path in Flash Phoner Configuration file.

Thnx

Good day.
You can change the settings in log4j.properties file: Logging settings in log4j.properties

 

[Arif Butt]

Please can you guide which parameter to change?

If you need to place all the logs hierarchy to the custom folder, just replace all base path occurences ${com.flashphoner.fms.AppHome}/logs to a custom one. If you need to set only server logs location, change the path and file name in the following parameter only:

log4j.appender.fAppender.File=${com.flashphoner.fms.AppHome}/logs/server_logs/flashphoner.log

Note that you must set the proper privileges to the custom log base folder

chown -RHL flashphoner:flashphoner /path/to/custom/logs/base/folder

If WCS has not enough privileges to write, it will not start at all.
Another option is to start WCS as root: Switching launch mode

You can also just remove a logs folder

systemctl stop webcallserver
rm -rf /usr/local/FlashphonerWebCallServer/logs

then create a symlink to a custom folder

ln -sf /path/to/custom/folder/logs /usr/local/FlashphonerWebCallServer/logs

Then set the proper privileges to the custom logs folder and start WCS, logs should be placed to the custom folder.

Please provide SSH access to the server using this form.

Your server is successfully starting as service in root mode

/usr/local/FlashphonerWebCallServer/bin/webcallserver set-root-mode enable

We strongly recommend to:
1. Backup the following files from /usr/local/FlashphonerWebCallServer/conf folder

flashphoner.properties
wss.jks
flashphoner.license

2. Uninstall WCS completely

/usr/local/FlashphonerWebCallServer/bin/uninstall.sh

3. Install WCS
4. Copy the files backed up to /usr/local/FlashphonerWebCallServer/conf folder
In this case, WCS should start correctly in non-root (default) mode.
Also, seems you've set websocket port to the same as HTTP

ws.port                 =8081

We recommend to revert it to default

ws.port                 =8080
