To enable logging to a directory, stop the client and add the following to the General section in the configuration file:
-```
-[General]
-logDebug=true
-logExpire=<hours>
-logDir=<dir>
-```
+::
+
+ [General]
+ logDebug=true
+ logExpire=<hours>
+ logDir=<dir>
- .. note:: Independent of platform you must use slash (/) as a path reparator:

As an example, to keep log data for two days in a directory called temp:
-```
-[General]
-logDebug=true
-logExpire=48
-logDir=C:/Temp

+::
+
+ [General]
+ logDebug=true
+ logExpire=48
+ logDir=C:/Temp
Once you restart the client, you will find the log file in the ``<dir>`` defined in ``logDir``.
.. note:: You will find the configuration file in the following locations:
- * Microsoft Windows systems: ``%APPDATA%\Nextcloud\nextcloud.cfg``
- * macOS systems: ``$HOME/Library/Preferences/Nextcloud/nextcloud.cfg``
- * Linux distributions: ``$HOME/.config/Nextcloud/nextcloud.cfg``

Alternatively, you can start the client in the command line with parameters:
