[BDS-56] "NO LOG FILE!" before every line in console

Starting the dedicated server warns NO LOG FILE! on every line. If I knew the name of the file it was expecting I could create it.

Yeah, I'd really like to be able to have a log file, but I don't see how to set that up to get rid of this message.

Has there been any resolution to no logs being saved?

it have log file but in your world files

For now Im just working around it with this quick startup script. This has been working well, but if you have a really busy server you probably want to rotate the log at some point.

(this is supposed to be all one line, it may wrap in this post)

cd /home/bedrock && screen -d -m -S Bedrock /bin/bash -c "LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. /home/bedrock/bedrock_server | tee -a /home/bedrock/mylog.log"

@nougator The .log file under the worlds folder is for the worlds database. That is different that the server.log file that would be the target of the messages in console output.

Has anyone found or know the correct path and name of the log file? I've tried the old vanilla server paths and no luck.

Strange solution I found: I have 2 hard drives in my computer. I moved the server folder over to the second hard drive, and everything worked. Must be Windows doing something weird.

same thing here on win 10

Windows 10: I get NO LOG FILE when i have another server running... Possibly that other server prevents the new server from opening a file. It's not where I expect it to be. Shutting down the other server, makes this server start fine. I can't find the log file, though.

Could I ask some other BDS Admins to test the latest release and see if they are able to reproduce?

Using 1.14.32.1 I don't seem to be able to repro this (although I've definitely had it in the past) and a log appears to be present in .\internalStorage (but is file locked until the server is stopped).

I still receive this error on both Windows and Linux.

Thanks Ben.

The line showing at the top isn't the same as the bug report which was for it showing on every line. I believe the specific bug here has been resolved.

Hi Mark,

I've not heard back from you in a while.

In order to keep the Bedrock Dedicated Server project running smoothly I'm going to request this issue be closed as Awaiting Response.

Never fear though! If this is still affecting you in the latest version all you have to do is comment and it will reopen.

still an issue in the latest release (1.19.21)

migrated 2023-08-11T11:41:34Z

Hey, I'm still having this issue, I'm guessing it has to do with log files on the PC that is stored in the BDS CONTENT LOG LOCATION: `C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\logs`.

This issue only occurs when multiple BDS instances are running causing what I'm guessing is a permissions issue for the second bds server.

Please fix this issue, or allow us to change the log file path please!

It is unwise to run any service as administrator. Not a solution to your problem but you might try running instances as normal users who will store logs in different locations. A thought anyway.

migrated 2023-08-24T17:52:25Z

@Loren Johnson How would you change the log locations?

migrated 2023-08-24T18:03:18Z

@Mark how does your command work and how can I use it in windows?
