Laravel 5.3 Logging not working

Code, which you using to add a log entry, would be helpful. Your configurations says laravel to send log messages to PHP's system log, defined in error_log php config directive. Try to use 'log' => env('APP_LOG', 'single') to store log in storage/logs directory

Hi Pavel Thanks for the reply. i have changed my settings as recommended by you to:

log' => env('APP_LOG', 'single')

and it still not logging. my log code is as follows, i am basically calling a profile page via my controller which does get called because other code executes and in the controller i am trying to log the following:

Log::emergency("Hello World");
Log::alert("Hello World");
Log::critical("Hello World");
Log::error("Hello World");
Log::warning("Hello World");
Log::notice("Hello World");
Log::info("Hello World");
Log::debug("Hello World");          

None of these are logging to the laravel.log file. I have added the following use statement as well at the top of my controller page:

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Log;

Do you have storage/logs/laravel.log file created? Also check your .env file for log settings, which may override the app config

I think it should be

use Log;

Hi, @JIYAAD, any news on your problem?

I faced the same issue. It was issue related with file permissions.

I found that if i use "php artisan serv" instead of a local vhost (apache), the logging like Log::info() doesn't work, only exceptions get written to laravel.log in my storage/log. "Doesn't work" means not in laravel log, not in php std log. As soon as I use apache, logging works.
