Services, Web Server and Log Files

[John Fligg]

I have my app compiled as a service. So let's say I have just spun up the server and nothing is running. No service is defined.

I run my app and get the normal server window (Log and Performance). I have also populated a tab with the Self Service controls. So I click Install and Run as a Service. The service starts to run but it is not accessible by the outside world. What I have to do is to close the web app I have running on the server desktop and reopen it. Now it is accessible. Why is that? I thought once it was running as a service then that was it.

Anyway I keep the window open so I can see the login information. I also have Scrren & Disk checked in the radio buttons. According to the docs this should then record the information to a log file. But it is not.

I am running a multi user scenario and ideally want to keep track of who logs in and their details. I need to get the login information each time they log in so I can check the device being used as far as I can.

So 2 questions really - why is the log file not being saved (I checked all folders) and how can I have a separate log file for each user independently. The screen only holds a minimal amount of data periodically and really would prefer full historical information.

Many thanks

John

I find debugview more useful for that kind of info

Presumably you mean why the log file is not being saved?

That does not resolve the question of saving individual log files per user.
