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 that these log files can become over time.

For full deployment instructions, please see the Paytronix for Aloha installation guide.

​PREP
(BOH)

  • Restart the Paytronix Controller service

  • Gather a card number this error can be seen on

(Terminal)

  • Edit the C:\Paytronix\config\userprog\pxalohaui.cfg file

  • Remove # from the last line. The line should read: LOG_PATH=C:\Paytronix\pxalohaui.log

  • Restart the 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\pxcontroller\pxcontroller.cfg

(Terminal)

  • C:\Paytronix\pxalohaui.log

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

RETURN TO PX

  • Card number

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

  • pxcontroller.cfg

  • pxalohaui.log

  • pxcontroller.log

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