  • look in oscam.conf - will tell you the path of your logs and the size of your logs - if this is not set, there is no log saved - it the filesize is set to be too small then the logs may have been overwritten

    If I take a while to respond, you can see why.....

  • ok heres me oscam.conf


    [global]
    nice = -1
    logfile = /dev/null
    clienttimeout = 5000
    fallbacktimeout = 2500
    clientmaxidle = 120
    cachedelay = 120
    bindwait = 120
    resolvedelay = 30
    serialreadertimeout = 1500
    maxlogsize = 10
    waitforcards = 1
    preferlocalcards = 1
    saveinithistory = 1
    keepalive = 1


    but dev/null is an empty file?

  • yes you need to create the file -use winscp or similar to log in server - you can name it 'oscam.log' or whatever - change permissions to 755, and then in oscam.conf - change /dev/null to /locationoffile/nameoffile - then reboot - increase the size if needed (maxlogsize=1024 givew you 1mb file)
    then if it happens again you have a log.

  • if you are using winscp it is as simple as right clicking and changing permissions to 755 - you need to make sure the file you created has read/write permissions - without changing permissions it is working for me so you should be ok so long as it is read/write owner permissions (644)


    so just create the file - set the path in the logs, and the size - reboot and if it works then don't worry about permissions.
