I have to admit, I am experiencing a similar problem. I have one server (same OS as yours) with 25 virtual hosts on it, and not all the logs were reporting exactly the same way. I did quite a bit of fiddling, and in two cases, I deleted and then rebuilt the virtual domain, to get the logging consistent. I think ( memory fails me at the moment - A senior moment, I guess) was to make sure the default account had all the logging properties I wanted and that will (or at least is supposed to) set defaults for the rest of them. Even then once in awhile I run into an inconsistent logging problem. Incidentally, I have the default account disables for security.
When I do, there is kind of a checklist I follow now to get them all in line. If one is not satisfactory, I move to the next one. 1. First select the advanced options I want - save them and stop and then restart the service. 2. Double check the logging settings again, perhaps uncheck some options, save them, and then re-check them and then reboot the server. 3. If all else fails, I delete the host, and recreate it with all the logging options I desire, and then reboot the server. Most of the time, number 1 takes care of everything, but there are occasions where I have to go all the way to step 3 before I get what I want. I also have Linux boxes hosting domains, that never seem to have this problem, and the built-in Webalyzer reports stats just great. I even have them dump the report into the web site directory so that the site owner can access them through their browser, or even link to them from their index page. if they want them public. I hope you do not have to go through all this. ===================================== Douglas White group Manager mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.samcfug.org ===================================== ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kelly Tetterton" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, November 22, 2002 8:57 AM Subject: RE: OT: IIS logging problem | I will pass along the upgrade suggestion, but just to reiterate: | | -- we have already turned on extended logging (and all extended items *except* for this appear) | -- service has been stopped and restarted | -- seemingly identical environments are behaving differently | | Has anyone else run into this?
