[SOLVED] Re: varnishd working fine, but no output on varnishncsa/varnishlog/varnishstat

[Javi Lavandeira]

Hello again,

I found out what was wrong. I needed to add -F to the command line in the property list that launches Varnish from launchctl. 

This is the plist file that works, in case someone else has the same issue:

[root]cache:~ # cat /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.varnish.plist 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
  <key>Label</key>
  <string>org.macports.varnish</string>
  <key>ProgramArguments</key>
  <array>

  <string>/var/log/varnish.log</string>
  <key>StandardOutPath</key>
  <string>/var/log/varnish.log</string>
</dict>
</plist>
