Log Files
- Open the inet.env Lycia configuration file and set QXDEBUG to its full value to get the most detailed logs:
QXDEBUG=UuBbSsEedPptLlCcmGOzAzKzQv
- Locate the log files and send them to the Querix support team:
- Application logs are stored in the folder specified in listener.xml, which, by default, is
Windows: C:\ProgramData\Querix\Lycia\logs
Linux: /opt/Querix/Lycia/logs - Application server logs are stored in the Jetty configuration folder:
Windows: C:\ProgramData\Querix\Lycia\jetty\logs
Linux: /opt/Querix/jetty/logs - LyciaStudio logs are stored in your workspace .metadata which, by default, is
Windows: C:\Users\<user>\workspace\.metadata\.log
Linux: /home/<user>/workspace/.metadata/.log
- Application logs are stored in the folder specified in listener.xml, which, by default, is
To get Lycia Form Designer logs, you must add these properties to lyciastudio.ini after -vmargs:
-Dcom.querix.fgl.forms.designer.renderer=cef
-Dcom.querix.fgl.forms.designer.render.arg.log-file=c:/temp/ceftmp.log
-Dcom.querix.fgl.forms.designer.render.arg.log-severity=verbose
-Dcom.querix.fgl.forms.designer.jslog=C:/temp/fd_scripts.js

If any log files contain secret company information - like user names or passwords - you can hide it by masking the corresponding values.
But do not delete the log itself - we need to know what it said beside your secret information.
