Good news, I actually got this to work on localhost... and it was pretty easy. I wanted to use "logging"while doing a lot of testing, and I didn't want to send out real emails. >From Docs: *For debugging purposes you can set mail.settings.server = 'logging' and emails will not be sent but logged to the console instead. *Here are steps 1. I thought the file logging.example.conf was distributed with latest version of web2py, but I couldn't find it, so I got it from: https://github.com/web2py/web2py/blob/master/logging.example.conf 2. The instructions were quite clear, in the .conf file, so I followed them- I wasn't sure about where to put it... see screen shot below. 3. I added my app called "sig" to the logging.conf file - below - just search for "sig" and you'll see ALL the changes I made. TIP On my Mac, I didn't use Terminal to view the .log file, I used Console.app which worked well (screen shot below) <https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-VFgDlxr8KmQ/UbCTbt_oP-I/AAAAAAAAAWg/y-GHxmUs1E8/s1600/Screen+Shot+2013-06-06+at+9.47.48+AM.png> <https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-3WnOXlD88GA/UbCToLnbWuI/AAAAAAAAAWo/khUe86DohQc/s1600/console.png> Here is my logging.conf - but you should start with logging.example.conf # Configure the Python logging facility. # To use this file, copy it to logging.conf and edit logging.conf as required. # See http://docs.python.org/library/logging.html for details of the logging facility. # Note that this is not the newer logging.config facility. # # The default configuration is console-based (stdout) for backward compatibility; # edit the [handlers] section to choose a different logging destination. # # Note that file-based handlers are thread-safe but not mp-safe; # for mp-safe logging, configure the appropriate syslog handler. # # To create a configurable logger for application 'myapp', add myapp to # the [loggers] keys list and add a [logger_myapp] section, using # [logger_welcome] as a starting point. # # In your application, create your logger in your model or in a controller: # # import logging # logger = logging.getLogger("web2py.app.myapp") # logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG) # # To log a message: # # logger.debug("You ought to know that %s" % details) # # Note that a logging call will be governed by the most restrictive level # set by the setLevel call, the [logger_myapp] section, and the [handler_...] # section.
