Hello!

How do I enable logging to a file? I read about “Logging configuration” in the documentation and added a section [logconf] in trytond.conf like described in the doc but I am not sure, I get no log.  
Should I paste my trytond.conf?

you need to another config, let called it “trytond.log.conf”  
then input the example [configuration](http://docs.tryton.org/projects/server/en/latest/topics/logs.html#example)

Run the trytond as below:

trytond -d dbname -c /etc/trytond/trytond.conf --logconf /etc/trytond/trytond.log.conf

Also make sure the user (who started trytond) who writes to the file has the right permissions.
