Solved Kunena creates a huge log file

Hey guys,

Not having any real problems just noticed that in my logs folder Kunena creates a logfile called kunena.php and this grows to a few hunderd MB in about a day. This logfile is mainly filled with lines like these:

Legacy URI index.php?option=com_kunena&userid=2496&view=profile was converted to index.php?option=com_kunena&userid=2496&view=user

Can this logging be turned off somewhere? The information isn't really useful for me and writing this logfile takes resources.

My configuration report:

Hello,

I'am not sure if we can disable logging, i need to check that, for now you can just delete it manually

Thanks for the feedback. I have scheduled a cron job because the file grows to about 100MB per 24 hours and I don't want to delete this file daily by hand

Why is this info logged anyway?

To have issues in installation available somewhere when it's happens, sometimes users doesn't have access to log..

We're experiencing the same issue where the log file is just cluttered with errors of the format:
Legacy URI index.php?option=com_kunena&userid=00001&view=profile was converted to index.php?option=com_kunena&userid=00001&view=user

We'll create a cron job to delete it as well, but it would be nice to be able to disable the feature.

By the way, thanks for making Kunena the best forum software around!

Kind regards,
Nick

I got it working thanks to Roland for the script:
I also added a /dev/null 2>&1 to the end of it so that cron-log emails are not sent to the mail email address in cPanel saying that the cron was run (otherwise it just clutters the inbox).

Final output code ended up being:
cPanel adds the "0 0 * * *" to specify that it should run once a day (around midnight I believe).

Hello,

A change has been made in Kunena 3.0.1 to remove log file after the Kunena installation, see : github.com/Kunena/Kunena-Forum/commit/ad...27de92e944f0d33ff3e7

Thanks xillibit! That should help.

Cheers,
Nick

This should be fixed in K 3.0.1, released today.
