Getting Started – Ubuntu
2 System setup
% ln -sn avhs-3.0.0-ubuntu-trusty-x86_64 current
% exit
2.4 Configure log rotation
Copy the sample log rotation file and edit if required:
# cd /home/sts/current/examples/
# cp logrotate-sts /etc/logrotate.d/
Note
• When the AVHS distribution file is unpacked, the default log directory for
sts
is automatically created, as
/home/sts/current/logs/
. If logs should be stored in another directory, this must be configured manually,
for example:
# mkdir -p /var/log/sts/
# chown -R sts:sts /var/log/sts
• When storing logs in other locations, remember to change the path in the
logrotate-sts
file.
• Wherever the log files are stored, always ensure there is enough disk space to hold them. In larger systems, it is
recommended to use a separate partition for log files.
