BottlePy App and CherryPy server not logging access

I'm serving a BottlePy App with CherryPy like this:

import cherrypy
from myapp import MyApp
from beaker.middleware import SessionMiddleware

appdir = '/path/to/app'
app = MyApp(appdir)

session_opts = {
    'session.timeout': 600,  # 10 minutes
    'session.type': 'file',
    'session.auto': True,
    'session.data_dir': appdir + '/auth/data'
}
app = SessionMiddleware(app, session_opts)

cherrypy.tree.graft(app, '/')
cherrypy.config.update({
    'log.screen': False,
    'log.access_file': appdir + '/front_end/cherrypy.access.log',
    'log.error_file': appdir + '/front_end/cherrypy.error.log',
    'server.socket_port': 8080,
    'server.socket_host': '0.0.0.0'
})

cherrypy.engine.start()
cherrypy.engine.block()

Everything seems to be working properly, but cherrypy.access.log remains totally empty, while cherrypy.error.log reads:

[30/Dec/2014:11:04:55] ENGINE Bus STARTING
[30/Dec/2014:11:04:55] ENGINE Started monitor thread '_TimeoutMonitor'.
[30/Dec/2014:11:04:55] ENGINE Started monitor thread 'Autoreloader'.
[30/Dec/2014:11:04:56] ENGINE Serving on http://0.0.0.0:8080
[30/Dec/2014:11:04:56] ENGINE Bus STARTED

But nothing else, no access logs, even after serving content.

I also tried

from cherrypy import wsgiserver

# Instead of the cherrypy.* calls

server = wsgiserver.CherryPyWSGIServer(('0.0.0.0', 8080), app)
server.start()

but it will print the same as above, but no access logs. Could not find any further documentation on logging and BottlePy integration.

The app you're running is not native CherryPy one, and grafting basically bypasses most of CP's internals, most likely including access logging.

Since you don't use any CherryPy's features besides basic WSGI publishing, you may be better off using one of the more serving-oriented (and more recent) solutions like uWSGI, Gunicorn or nginx/Apache+plugins.

You need to set log.screen to True to enable both error and access logs.

See (old) docs: https://cherrypy.readthedocs.org/en/3.3.0/refman/_cplogging.html
