I am struggling to find the log directory on my Magento 1.9 installation. Please note that I have used XAMPP and this in installed on Windows 7.

I have checked many forums and the following are the things I have already tried but with no change.

  1. Updated System > Configuration > Developer > Log Settings > Enabled = Yes
  2. The var directory under C:\xampp\htdocs\magento\var did not have the directory 'log'. So I created this directory and change the permission settings to full access.
  3. Disabled cache under System -> Cache Management
  4. Also manually deleted browser cookies before testing each of the above.

I am quite new to Magento. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Aarthi

Please follow these steps:

  • Go to System > Configuration > Developer > Log Settings, and set:

Enabled = Yes

  • Click on var/log folder and open properties of that folder.
  • Click on Security tab and check that all users have full permission. (if not then grant full permission)
  • Edit any controller's action, and add Mage::log('test'); and open that action's URL in browser.
  • Then check /var/log folder.
