3. The problem I’m having:

Hello.
As I already explained in a previous post, I’m slowly learning how to administrate my server. After my first tries with Caddy I broke everything, and I realized that Caddy could generate only one log and not one log per sub-domain. (contrary to what I had done at the time Setup Wordpress subdomain ) (the goal being to monitor access to certain services with fail2ban)

That’s why I wanted to generate the logs from the “top domain”.

But i have this trouble : if I go to /var/log I can’t find caddy.log.
(and therefore, I don’t have access to any log).
However, I checked that caddy had the rights on this file.

4. Error messages and/or full log output:

5. What I already tried:

Tried to create an empty file named “caddy.log” in the /var/log … but nothing change …

Thank you a lot for you help :slight_smile:
