#### 2.1.3 Logging

When it encounters a difficulty, Polipo will print a friendly message. The location where these messages go is controlled by the configuration variable `logFile`. If it is empty, messages go to the error output of the process (normally the terminal); otherwise, it is the name of a file where all output will accumulate.

The variable `logFile` defaults to empty if `daemonise` is false, and to ``/var/log/polipo`' otherwise.
