Domoticz

According https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Windows there should be a log file in the log directory. But there is no file coming there. Do I have to switch something else on? Do I need to start Domoticz differently on windows to get the log file on the location I entered during installation?

I want to look back a little longer then what the log file shows at menu Setup - Log (a couple of minutes history)

If you start domoticz on windows as an app you can define it in the target field of the properties window.

something like
C:\Users\Public\Domoticz\domoticz.exe -www 8080 -sslwww 443 -log C:\Users\Public\Domoticz\domoticz.log -loglevel normal,status,error

Found it:
When running as a service you need to change regkey HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\Domoticz\Parameters
Add value AppParameters with -log "<Path-to-logfile>"

So it seems that the installation tool for windows is not working on this logging parameter.

I modified the Wiki so users can correct it directly after installation.
Someone can look into this to get it fixed by the installation script?

Hm, no log file appears in my case (running as a service) after adding the -log parameter.
Anything I missed?
