With the 1.9 startup scripts on Ubuntu, I’m not getting any log files being output.
They are supposed to be under /var/log.
The chroot, exec, output piping seems strange in that script.

Hi,
Ubuntu uses upstart, so the logs should be under /var/log/upstart
Cheers,
Martin

Ok, yes I see them there, although the init scripts explicitly pipe output to “/var/log/tyk-gateway.stdout” and “/var/log/tyk-gateway.stderr” which is why it’s confusing.
The scripts make it seem like they are not using upstart.

Which scrips are you looking at? Tyk installs init scripts for every system it detects. So you will have systemd, upstart and SysV versions if Tyk post install detects them. Upstart scripts are under a different folder (we use conf files for upstart):

Mmm not sure about this. You say “Ubuntu uses upstart”, but I’m on 14.04 and there is no /var/log/upstart - and no tyk logs are created anywhere.
What should I do?
The logs are either in /var/logs or /var/logs/upstart it depends on how you are starting the gateway? What init system are you using?
The Tyk installer (with apt) will try to detect its int system and make itself available to all of them and the logs are set up to work with whatever the init system defaults to.
Hi Martin,
that opens an interesting question - how can you reliably determine the INIT system 
But I’ll let stackoverflow do that.
Sticking to what I know from doing “stat /proc/1/exe”, I get /sbin/init. Running /sbin/init --version, it tels me I’m on upstart 1.12.1.
All fine, except there is no /var/log/upstart directory. And at the same time, it looks like tyk is indeed logging under /var/log/tyk-gateway.stderr [1], and this gets me a little confused. Has the installer failed to detect upstart? Or what else could be wrong?
Thanks,
Giuseppe
[1] Also, the logs contain quite a lot of errors such as:
panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference
[signal 0xb code=0x1 addr=0x0 pc=0x66ee25]
goroutine 13 [running]:

/home/tyk/go/src/github.com/lonelycode/tyk/main.go:1210 +0x2bd1
Any idea what this is?
The panics will be configuration issues, would need to dig deeper to know what’s going on there.
as for init systems, Tyk detects as many as it can and makes itself available to them, it’s up to the OS and admin after that.
