Where do I find the file latest.log on a Mac

Post by RGVV »

Good day,

Tried to install "Adder Start" from the expansion pack manager, however, download failed and Oolite advises to check the latest.log to determine why download failed. Where can I find the latest.log file on a Mac?

Thanks.

Best,

Robert.

Not sure where the Latest.log is on the Mac, but the reason the download fails is that wiki.alioth.net seems to be down at the moment. This means that all OXPs hosted there will be unreachable until the site gets back up.

You go to the Finder where you go to the Go menu.

Select Go to Folder at the bottom and type in ~/Library/Logs/Oolite/

That should unearth Latest.log and Previous.log in the hidden entrails of the dreaded contraption.

Wiki down (and back-up broken) - are all our basques in one exit?

Ah, okay, that helps (not). :(

Thanks a lot - I found the file. :D
