How to enable Aloha user program logs

The steps in this article will walk you through turning on user program logs, which are often needed for complex troubleshoots

Updated over 2 months ago

The steps below cover how to enable this level of logging, and what files to return to Paytronix for review. Note: you should disable this logging after testing to prevent terminal lag due to the size of these files.

For full deployment instructions, please see the Aloha installation guide. Note: aloha/aloha as user/password

​PREP
(BOH)

  • Restart Paytronix Controller service

  • Gather a card number this error can be seen on

(Terminal)

  • C:\Paytronix\config\pxalohaui.cfg > remove # from last line. Line should read: LOGPATH=C:\Paytronix

  • Restart terminal

TEST
(Terminal)

  • Test the issue/transaction with the card number this behavior can be seen on

PULL
(BOH)

  • C:\Paytronix\logs\pxcontroller.log

  • C:\Paytronix\config\userprog\pxalohaui.cfg

  • C:\Paytronix\config\controller\pxcontroller.cfg

(Terminal)

  • C:\Paytronix\pxalohaui.log

  • C:\Paytronix\config\pxalohaui.cfg

RETURN TO PX

  • Card number

  • Both pxalohaui.cfg files (please label which is which)

  • Pxalohaui.log

  • Pxcontroller.log

Finally, on the terminal used to test, add # back to pxalohaui.cfg and restart the terminal. This will prevent excessively large log files from accumulating.
