###A note about Laravel 4.1 (mikemand recommandation)

As of right now (2013-11-29), fresh Laravel 4.1 applications log things differently than they used to. While this doesn't technically break LogViewer, LogViewer also doesn't know how to handle these changes. Whether these changes are permanent or not is unclear, but here's a quick fix:

In your app/start/global.php, line 34 change:

Log::useFiles(storage_path().'/logs/laravel.log');

to:

$logFile = 'log-'.php_sapi_name().'.txt';

Log::useDailyFiles(storage_path().'/logs/'.$logFile);

This only applies to new installations of Laravel 4.1. If you've upgraded an existing 4.0 application (and did not make changes to the way logs are created and stored), everything should still work.
