Jeremy Mitchell commented on TC-501:
------------------------------------

i’m not sure the best solution off the top of my head.

the default values found in https://github.com/apache/incubator-trafficcontrol/blob/master/traffic_portal/conf/config.js work well when you are in “dev” mode, aka when you have run `grunt` or `grunt dev` your output files are put in files in ./app/dist/public/ as the config.js file says and it starts an express server that will write an access.log to whereever you tell it to. by default i tell it to write it to `./server/log/access.log` but yes, when TP is installed, you need to change both of those values per the comments in that config.js file.

> After basic install of traffic-portal based on the documentation, traffic portal failed to launch. this is due to relative pathes to the logs and static files appear in the default configuration.
> Note that the working directory of the server is "/"
> First, the log path (./server/log) does not exists. A possible fix is to change the dir to /opt/traffic_portal/server/log and create the log dir if needed. 
> Second. the files static path should be set to "opt/traffic_portal/public"
