How to access redmine log folder inside a docker after a docker-compose?

I am a noob with docker, and I try to implement a redmine+mysql container in Windows environment and add production mysql dump in it after that.

I have an issue when trying to access to redmine after my execution of sql script production dump, after sql launch I only have Internal error when browsing redmine with docker. I don't know how to change the database name in the data-compose file , if I replace 'redmine' with anything else my script is broken.

Also I don't know how I can access to redmine error logs folder in my docker to fix the issue.

Here is my docker-compose file : 

version: '3.7'

services:

  db:
    image: mysql:5.5.47
    restart: always
    ports:
      - 3306:3306
    volumes:
      - .\mysql_files\data-mysql:/var/lib/mysql
      - .\mysql_files\backup-mysql:/var/lib/mysql/backup
      - .\mysql_files\dump-mysql:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d
    environment:
      MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: monmdp
      MYSQL_DATABASE: redmine

  redmine:
    image: redmine:4.0.3
    restart: always
    ports:
      - 8080:3000
    depends_on:
      - db
    volumes:
      - .\redmine_files\files:/usr/local/redmine/files
      - .\redmine_files\logs:/var/log/redmine
    environment:
      REDMINE_DB_MYSQL: db
      REDMINE_DB_PASSWORD: monmdp

as you can see I tried to access to redmine log folder in this line : 

    - .\redmine_files\logs:/var/log/redmine

but the folder is still empty :(

expected result : can browse redmine with production data dump

current result : Can't browse redmine and can't access log folder to check what's wrong.

Thanks for your help

Regarding the Dockerfile for Redmine, log files won't be saved inside the container. Instead, they're set up to output directly to STDOUT.

echo 'config.logger = Logger.new(STDOUT)' > config/additional_environment.rb; # line 93

this docked image host redmine under /usr/src/redmine/ so you should use

- .\redmine_files\logs:/usr/src/redmine/log

From what I understand, you are trying to access the logs of redmine container but you found the .\redmine_files\logs directory empty. First, you need to check whether there are logs in the docker /var/log/redmine directory or not. You can do so by running commands in redmine shell itself. Use the command docker exec -it redmine /bin/bash to move to redmine shell and cd to /var/log/redmine to check if the logs are present there or not. If you don't find the logs there then that means that there was not logs to be replicated to ./redmine_files/logs. If you find the logs in /var/log/redmine then there must be some issue with your docker-compose file, but it seems fine to me. Also, as @Mihai has suggested you can check the logs of redmine using the command sudo docker-compose logs redmine to see if it is running properly or not.
