Beginning of debug log

The debug log is available as roxen/logs/debug/default.1. The debug log contains essentially the same information as the event log, but in a text only format. It is sent either to a file or to syslog on a unix system. This is controlled by the Logging / Debug log method variable under the Globals tab.

The debug log is important when the server starts, since it writes messages before the administration interface becomes available. If the server did not restart properly the debug log will show why.

The debug log also contains the process id of the Roxen process and the start script process. This information is important if you want to restart the server without using the admin interface, for instance by using the kill command instead.
