<p>I don't have any logs appearing in <code>craft/storage/runtime/logs</code> (in fact I don't have anything at all in <code>craft/storage/runtime</code>.  I'm running Craft on Heroku.  I've tried setting post-install scripts in the <code>composer.json</code> file to run</p>

<pre><code>chmod -R 774 craft/storage
</code></pre>

<p>but it doesn't change the permissions (they remain at 700).  We run Papertrail to collect logs from the dynos, but these only seem to include web requests - no application logging.  I've tried enabling <code>devMode</code>, but it makes no difference.</p>

<p>I'm trying to debug some issues we have with the application occasionally falling over, but without access to logs it's impossible - is there any way to make Craft start logging?  Just logging to stdout would be fine, as Papertrail would collect the logs. I can't find any configuration options, maybe I've missed them?</p>

Craft on Heroku is not logging. How can I make it start?
