Freshly installed the latest (FreePBX 1.88.210.57-1 32Bit Beta Distro) release and all is working well except one thing, there are no log files! Well, al least not the /var/log/asterisk/full.
When I got to Reports -> Asterisk Logfiles from the topmenu it also is referring to that file, but it’s not there. Any help would be great because I’m trying to get the Dialectic plugin working like on my previous Elastix box, but without the logs it’s damn near impossible to find out why things aren’t working!

Check out /etc/logrotate.d/asterisk which is the log rotate config file that rotates the Asterisk logs.
The command to cause Asterisk to reload the logs is
Thanks for the suggestions, I finally got it working, I checked the file logrote.d and it was empty? Luckily I had a virtual machine with a test installation of the latest (non-beta release) and copied the contents from that file into the logrotate.d. After that, the logs worked again!
