I've deployed a ruby on rails 4.0.3 application to a server that I've configured with the following likely relevant software:

  • Ubuntu 12.04.4 x64 server
  • Phusion Passenger 4.0.37
  • Apache 2.2.22
  • Ruby 2.0.0p353
  • Rails 4.0.3 / Capistrano 2.15.5 / Rake 10.1.1

Everything with the app seems to be working properly, with the exception of the rails application logging. My expectation is that everything application-specific should be written to the {Rails.root}/log/production.log file. However, everything seems to be being written to /var/log/apache2/error.log.

Here's an excerpt from the apache error.log to show what I mean:

App 1495 stdout: Started GET "/" for 192.168.1.106 at 2014-03-08 17:26:04 -0500
App 1495 stdout: Processing by HomeController#index as HTML
App 1495 stdout:   Rendered home/index.html.erb within layouts/application (0.1ms)
App 1495 stdout:   Rendered layouts/_header.html.erb (2.0ms)
App 1495 stdout:   Rendered home/_auth.html.erb (0.4ms)
App 1495 stdout:   Rendered layouts/_footer.html.erb (0.1ms)
App 1495 stdout: Completed 200 OK in 9ms (Views: 5.8ms | ActiveRecord: 0.0ms)

I find it interesting that the log/production.log even gets created, but nothing is being written to it.

Some things that I've looked into/verified:

  • RAILS_ENV=production
  • The {Rails.root}/config/environments/production.rb is set to all of the default values
  • My apache/passenger setup is mostly default, with the exception of having to add a virtualhost entry for my app, like so:
<VirtualHost *:80> 
        ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost 
        DocumentRoot /var/www/apps/myapp/current/public 
        RailsEnv production  
</VirtualHost>
  • Permissions across all of the files in the rails app, appear to be good - and in desperation I tried to grant '777' permission to the log/production.log, to no avail.

I'll be happy to provide any other application configuration information or environment details upon request.

I had a similar situation. In my case a #{Rails.root}/config.ru included the line use Rails::Rack::LogTailer. This was causing all Rails logging to also be added to /var/log/apache2/error.log.
