[2.2.7] Logs path is absolute?

[CiraciNicolo]

I'm using the latest versione of Parse-Server and I keep getting this error:

Error: EACCES: permission denied, open '/logs/parse-server.info.2016-04-20'
    at Error (native)

It seems that the logs path is absolute and not relative to the project, and the logs are created in the absolute path /logs/. My Parse instance is running through foreverjs, maybe this helps?

It is. use __dirname in your config to construct an absolute path to a folder in your Parse Server project.

[CiraciNicolo]

Not fixed, I set the logsFolder parameter to the absolute path of my Parse instance but Parse still creates the /logs directory in the root of the file system.

Where do you deploy? What's the path to you logs folder (configuration)? What's the behaviour locally?

[CiraciNicolo]

I'm using Parse with expressjs on a virtual machine running the latest Ubuntu LTS. The logs path is passed through the constructor of ParseServer. The configuration is attached, personal data is blacked out. As I said before the logsFolder is ignored and new logs are created at /logs (file system root).

I'll have a look

[CiraciNicolo]

Can you reopen this issue then?

Maybe the logs folder is created by foreverjs.

I start my server by:

forever start index.js -l /home/abc-user/logs/abc.log

Nope, here is the error with my instance running as www-data
