Because of deployment constraints, I would like to have the log and cache directories used by my Symfony2 application somewhere under /var/... in my file system. For this reason
I was happy to find your post, but I was a little bit confused of the unhelping answers.
I got the same problem and found out that the logs are depending on the config parameter
kernel.logs_dir
.
So I just added it to my config.yml
parameters:
kernel.logs_dir: /var/log/symfonyLogs
I hope it will helpfull for you even, if its a late answer.
