I'm developing Django server on Ubuntu OS. Since there is no browser on that machine, I can only debug the server remotely. So I just configure it with Apache and WSGI, and now I can access it through machine public IP.
Then I want to record logs in some views for debugging, if I output the log to a file, I can see it in the file, but if I want to output it to the console, I just get confused here, where is the console? since I didn't launch it with python manage.py runserver manually, currently running server process was launched by WSGI automatically. Of course, I can just stop the process launched by WSGI, and re-launch it with python manage.py runserver manually. If so, I can't access it through machine public IP.
So how can I see logs in the console in putty
Firstly, you shouldn't be developing on the server. Do that locally and debug in the usual way there.
If you're debugging production issues, you will indeed need to use the log files. But it's pretty simple to see those in the console; you can do tail -f /var/log/my_log_file.log and the console will show the log as it is being written.
