[Dancer-users] detailed logs, not

[Maurice Mengel]

I am new to deployment. Today i did dancer via plack on apache for the
first time on my server,so I don't really understand this.

With environment, I mean
  environments/production.yaml
  environments/development.yaml

I think by default development has log settings.

Maybe that helps a little.
