I am trying to resolve a problem with Matomo so that it captures the correct visitor IP using proxy_client_headers[] = HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR.
This is not working so i am attempting to troubleshoot by enabling tracker logging and general logging, but I can’t get either of them to work.
I have attempted to enable debug tracker logging, by adding the following to config.ini.php
[Tracker]
debug = 1
I understand that enabling the tracker debug should show debug output in the HTTP response(?). However this is not working for me; all I see in the response is:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Tue, 25 Jun 2019 11:10:04 GMT
Server: Apache
X-Powered-By: PHP/7.1.29
X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN
Vary: Cookie
Content-Length: 0
Keep-Alive: timeout=5, max=98
Connection: Keep-Alive
Content-Type: text/plain;charset=UTF-8
Note that the request does appear in the Visitor log correctly.
I have also attempted to enable logging by adding the section below to config.ini.php - using both file and database options, unquoted and double quoted.
[log]
log_writers[] = file
log_level = "DEBUG"
This also does not seem to result in any log messages written to tmp\logs. I have also tried the ‘screen’ option, but nothing appears in the log viewer within the UI.
