Logging Options
Log files can help you monitor activity on an instance of Administration Server,
and can also help you troubleshoot server problems. Server logs use the Common
Logfile Format, a broadly supported format that provides information about the
server.
Administration Server generates two kinds of logs:
Access log. Displays information about requests to the server and the responses
from the server. By default, the file is located at
admin-serv/logs/access
.
Error log.
Displays errors the server has encountered since the log file was created.
It also contains informational messages about the server, such as when the server
was started and who tried unsuccessfully to log on to the server. By default, the file
is located at
admin-serv/logs/error
.
You can view logs from Netscape Console. You can also change where logs are
stored, for instance if you want Administration Server to write all log files to a
shared folder.
NOTE Once you stop the Administration Server from the Windows NT
Control Panel, you cannot start it again from within Console. You
must start the server from the command line or from the Windows
NT Control Panel. For more information, see the preceding
sections: “To Restart the Server from the Command Line” and “To
Restart the Server from the NT Control Panel.”
