Re: Logging to database and not to log directory

[Gnik <gniknalu () sbcglobal net>]

Yeah - I struggled with that one for a while. . . .

In the FAQ it says, "YOU MUST ALWAYS HAVE A LOGGING
DIRECTORY SET VIA THE COMMAND LINE." I don't know why
- but I DO know that when I don't set it, it doesn't
work in Windows.

Enjoy!
