Read logs from nginx

[jabrena]

Hi,

I have just deployed an static application, but I think that exist some kind of problem and I would like to read the logs from the nginx to understand the source of the problem?

Paths:

/home/vcap/app/nginx/logs/access.log
/home/vcap/app/nginx/logs/error.log 

Shell output:

cf logs  StaticWebsiteHelloWorld --recent
Connected, dumping recent logs for app StaticWebsiteHelloWorld in org DevBox / s
pace dev as admin...

We have created an issue in Pivotal Tracker to manage this. You can view the current status of your issue at: https://www.pivotaltracker.com/story/show/100499736.

Currently, when I try to get access to the application, I receive the following info:

403 Forbidden
nginx

@jabrena Does your app reach the 'running' state? If so, you can access those files on Cloud Foundry via the cf files command. In this case, it would be like: cf files StaticWebsiteHelloWorld app/nginx/logs/access.log. Please let us know if that helps.

Hi @aemengo, yes the application is in running statec:

cf app StaticWEbsiteHelloWorld
Showing health and status for app StaticWebsiteHelloWorld in org DevBox / space
dev as admin...
OK

requested state: started
instances: 1/1
usage: 1G x 1 instances
urls: StaticWebsiteHelloWorld.MY_IP.xip.io
last uploaded: Wed Aug 5 12:28:31 UTC 2015
stack: cflinuxfs2
buildpack: https://github.com/cloudfoundry/staticfile-buildpack

     state     since                    cpu    memory       disk         details

#0   running   2015-08-05 02:28:43 PM   0.0%   3.5M of 1G   5.2M of 1G

Finally I could read the logs and the file system with the notes:

cf files StaticWebsiteHelloWorld app/
Getting files for app StaticWebsiteHelloWorld in org DevBox / space dev as admin
...
OK

StaticWebsite_HelloWorld/                    -
boot.sh                                   1.5K
nginx/                                       -
public/                                      -

Many thanks for the support
