Mayan-EDMS logging config

[JedMeister]

We should tidying up the logging config for the Mayan-EDMS appliance.

As noted by Sensiva in the forums /var/log/mayan is empty and the Mayan config.yml use a location of /opt/mayan-edms/media/error.log.

As noted in my response, we should either make the /var/log location a symlink to where the logs really are, or reconfigure Mayan to log to /var/log/mayan. The logrotate config also needs adjustment so that it rotates the real log files.

This might fix the bug. In-app it certainly seems that the setting reflect the fix. But I was not able to prove this, as I couldn't get any log output, at any point nor could I find any rdoc specifying how to handle this, or how to force a log entry. turnkeylinux-apps/mayan-edms#2

This needs more information to ensure this patch HAS fixed the issue.

I've merged the PR (turnkeylinux-apps/mayan-edms#2) and am going to close this issue. If there are still issues, we'll deal with them if/when they crop up...

I think this is still an issue. While looking into another issue, I found the logs were not being generated. More details to come as find them

From a fresh install of v16.1, the config file is missing. Making a copy from the backup that is there and change the following and restarting the logs show up

cp /opt/mayan-edms/media/config_backup.yml to /opt/mayan-edms/media/config.yml
chown mayan:mayan  /opt/mayan-edms/media/config.yml

Then edit
nano /opt/mayan-edms/media/config.yml
