Rails 2.1.0 Server log problem

Guys, I have to work with some legacy Rails 2.1.0 app for some reasons. They have designed it to use Ruby 1.8.6.

I installed RVM and installed ruby 1.8.7. I installed all of the gems that the app requires (a real pain in Rails 2.x app compared to Bundler) and started the rails app using script/server command.

The problem arises with the server log I am getting. In development rails mode, t开发者_C百科he log always comes in "info" mode and not in "debug" mode. In debug mode, our server log will show request params, controller & action, response time and everything. But all I get is this kind of log.

Damn, its really hard to work with this kind of log. I have explicitly mentioned

config.log_level = :debug

in environment.rb. But still after this, the output comes in "info" mode. Am i using the wrong ruby version. should I specifically use ruby 1.8.6 to get the desired/expected log output. Please help, I'm stuck in this for "days".

The important thing is when I tail -f my development.log file, that file shows the correct format. essentially, when I start my server, it should start in "development" mode and it should tail -f the development log. right ?

The log levels come in : :debug, :info, :warn, :error, and :fatal

Fatal being the least and debug being the most output. I think you want the least, so choose fatal of level 4.

Rails.logger.level = 4

Also you mentioned that the Ruby you're using is 1.8.6, but you installed 1.8.7. I would imagine you need to rvm install ruby-1.8.6 to get this working properly.
