How to See Your Running Rails Log in Passenger?

Posted at November 11

When someone switches over from script/server to Passenger when starting with Ruby on Rails one of the biggest things that they miss is seeing the log output in Terminal. But it’s not too hard to get back.

  1. Open a New Tab in Terminal
  2. In Terminal, At the root of you rails project type: tail -f log/development.log
  3. Leave this running and reload your page in the browser. You should now see the log output running in the Terminal tab

Have Fun.
