Plex Media Server.log when plexWatch is on a different server than PMS #117

Closed rayk32 closed 8 years ago

How do you deal with these statement when plexWatch and PMS are running on different servers?

$server_log = '/var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Logs/Plex Media Server.log'; ## used to log IP address of user (alpha) $log_client_ip = 1; ## requires $server_log to be available too. (requires File::ReadBackwards)

This is the error message I get:

warning: $server_log is specified in config.pl and opt/plexWatch/Logs/plex.log does not exist (required for logging of the clients IP address)

Everything else about plexWatch works except for this.

You need to provide some way for the plexWatch computer to access the logs directory if you want that functionality, generally this is handled with a network share of some sort.

Thanks for the response. I will follow your suggestion.

I think the correct path on a Mac running PMS is "/Users/admin/Library/Logs/Plex Media Server.log".

Creating a mount point entry in fstab fixed the issue!
