Newbie - Installed Magento 1.9.1 new install and patch_supee-5994

[dfontana]

To update, Under Configuration - Advanced - Developer, I enabled logging but the log folder isstill not created, do I need to create the folder myself?

[dfontana]

Further update, I installed patch PATCH_SUPEE-6237, I left off the remainder of the file name for the purpose of this post here, received no errors in installing it and now get the following message trying to access the admin. The log folder is still not  present for me to check  any error logs.

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Am using WinSCP for my SSH app, is that a problem?

Also received the following message tryign to back out patch_supee-6237

Am using WinSCP o access terminal prompt, is that my problem?

[dfontana]

Am I correct in my assumption that I access my admin via http://mydomain.com/admin? If not how do I access the admin or backend of Magento?

[dfontana]

Ok, now I feel stupid, looks like I had the wrong url to access the admin

I was using the following format: mydomain.com/admin where I should have been using mydomain.com/index.php/admin. But I still have the issue that although  it appears I have enabled logging, there is no log folder under var. Can someone tell me what I've done wrong or  how to have it created?

thanks in advance. I have some other questions, but will post those in the proper forum discussion

Hi @dfontana, have you checked your folder permissions to make sure you're able to write to that folder to create the logs?

[dfontana]

Hi sherrie, the file permission was set to 705, I've changed it to 767, is that ok? or have I set it too high?

[sherrie]

Hi @dfontana, the recommended permissions for your /var directory are 700 as per our dev docs: http://devdocs.magento.com/guides/m1x/install/installer-privileges_after.html

I'm not sure if you've seen it, but we do have a user guide here: http://merch.docs.magento.com/ce/user_guide/Magento_Community_Edition_User_Guide.html It may be helpful since you're new to Magento.

Hi @sherrie,  changed thepermissions on the var folder to 700 as you recommended and will see if I can getthe log folder created. With regards to the first link you posted regarding  privileges, when I clicked on it, I got a 404 error but I got to the second link and downloaded part 1 of the user guide.

Thanks for your advice.

Sorry about that, it included the period in the URL, here you go: http://devdocs.magento.com/guides/m1x/install/installer-privileges_after.html

Let me know if that works.
