mongrel unicorn - Nov 2009 - Log File Location

This may be a dumb question, but where can I see the error logs that  
are usually displayed when unicorn is not daemonized?  The  
production.log file is empty in my app.  Everything is currently  
running as root.

I''m not sure where the logs are directed by default, but I set their
location in my unicorn config like so:

stdout_path
''/home/deploy/public_html/rm/current/log/unicorn.log''
stderr_path
''/home/deploy/public_html/rm/current/log/unicorn-error.log''

I ended up doing something like:

unicorn_logger = Logger.new("/home/xxxxxx/current/log/unicorn.log")
unicorn_logger.formatter = Logger::Formatter.new
logger unicorn_logger

... but, I think you can do this as well:
Configurator::DEFAULTS[:logger].formatter = Logger::Formatter.new

They go to /dev/null by default when daemonizing.  But yes, it''s
recommended that you configure them to something like below:
