Laravel 5 - change default log location, move log file outside the app

How can I change default log file location <project-name>/storage/logs/laravel.log to something like /var/logs/<project-name>/laravel.log?

Solution

  • I resolved this case by using errorlog logging model and configuring webserver.

    1. Configure Laravel:

    In config/app.php configuration file:

    'log' => 'errorlog'

    Read more about Laravel log configuration: http://laravel.com/docs/5.1/errors#configuration

    2. Configure webserver (in my case Nginx):

    error_log    /var/log/nginx/<project_name>-error.log;
