Jeremy Mitchell commented on TC-501: ------------------------------------ i’m not sure the best solution off the top of my head. the default values found in https://github.com/apache/incubator-trafficcontrol/blob/master/traffic_portal/conf/config.js work well when you are in “dev” mode, aka when you have run `grunt` or `grunt dev` your output files are put in files in ./app/dist/public/ as the config.js file says and it starts an express server that will write an access.log to whereever you tell it to. by default i tell it to write it to `./server/log/access.log` but yes, when TP is installed, you need to change both of those values per the comments in that config.js file. > TPv2 installation - better defaults are required > ------------------------------------------------ > > Key: TC-501 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TC-501 > Project: Traffic Control > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Traffic Portal > Affects Versions: 2.1.0 > Reporter: Nir Sopher > > After basic install of traffic-portal based on the documentation, traffic > portal failed to launch. this is due to relative pathes to the logs and > static files appear in the default configuration. > Note that the working directory of the server is "/" > First, the log path (./server/log) does not exists. A possible fix is to > change the dir to /opt/traffic_portal/server/log and create the log dir if > needed. > Second. the files static path should be set to "opt/traffic_portal/public" -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
