Looking for log that doesn't exist

Traceback (most recent call last):

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

That .log file doesn’t exist anywhere on my computer. Why is plotman looking for it? How do I stop it from looking for it? I’ve tried changing log folder locations and even reinstalled plotman. This Bug won’t go away

it’s the log file in the plotman.config file you can change it to another location, but you need make the log directory. It’s not very clear in the instructions. make the log file something like

/home/usr/plotmanlog 

then open another terminal and type

mkdir /home/usr/plotmanlog
chmod 777 /home/usr/plotmanlog

I am sure there’s a simpler way to make it work from your position, but this is how I made it work after struggling with the same error.

Problem I had is that the directory was created and I gave it permission to write to it
