Re: Log question
Ah, Russ... your response was pretty much the same as what I was gonna say. The Admin UI is fine if one pays attention (like to the messages going Are you sure you want to delete this log file?, that pop up when one opts to delete it). And I dunno how much more clear a red circle with an X on it can get by way of suggesting of these options, this is the one that deletes stuff can get. Seriously. That said, if the UI is a pain: don't use it. The log files are just text files... open them up in a text editor! Or in the log file viewer in CFB if you have it. Why would someone want to delete the exception log? Because the info in it gets stale and meaningless pretty bloody quick. it's great for the here-and-now, but it's not much use shortly after then. on my dev machine I delete all my log files when I start CF up for the session... if I didn't deal with whatever was in the logs during the last session, I'm sure as hell not going to do it in a subsequent session. However I do cull them all via the file system, not via the UI. But there's a use case for axing them. If they *are* important though, why are you not backing them up? Important stuff - stuff that if you lose will cost you time - needs to be backed up. If they get too cluttered? rotate them. there's a button to do that right next to the DELETE one. Then you can farm them off to nearstorage or backup, depending on how quickly you might need them. Basically this whole situation seems to have arisen out of slight negligence rather than any mis-met expectations that CF or the file system ought to have delivered. This is cold comfort, I know, but hopefully there's a lesson in there. Oh, and finally... yeah, the exception log would have been recreated the next time CF came to log an exception. If it didn't, you were probably right to reinstall CF, as your install was bung. Ray (I presume you're reading)... this thread has good cross-over potential to that other thread I was commenting on earlier, as to why it's better to have specialist staff looking after the servers rather than developers, irrespective of how good they are at being developers. It does not equate to them being good sysadmins. -- Adam On 31 January 2013 18:07, Russ Michaels r...@michaels.me.uk wrote: personally I find the cfadmin and navigation quite straight forward.

RE: Log question
Deleting it destroys it completely rather than clearing the log as I expected it to. I had an ongoing exception that wasn't causing the log to be recreated after I hit delete. The nav is straight forward, but it isn't very friendly. When the log starts with the first entry rather than the newest entry, with no way to jump to the end, that isn't very friendly.

Re: Log question
If the log is deleted ColdFusion should recreate the log, for example stop ColdFusion go to the logs directory and delete them, then restart ColdFusion and the logs will be recreated. If you are wanting the log information from inside the file then you will want an undelete tool to get the file back, but hurry because once the OS reuses the space it will be lost forever. Which usually could be awhile depending on the OS and disk size. -- Regards, Andrew Scott WebSite: http://www.andyscott.id.au/ Google+: http://plus.google.com/113032480415921517411 On Tue, Jan 29, 2013 at 9:20 AM, Eric Roberts ow...@threeravensconsulting.com wrote: How do you restore a deleted log?

This looks like nimda or one of the many variants.So yes, you are being attacked, but if you're patched up, it really shouldn't affect anything.You could ban the ip at your firewall, but if there's a chance you'll ban valid traffic as well. marlon Jim T wrote: What are these entries in my log files? am I bing attacked?

Executive Log question
Hi all,
In the executive.log file, I'm getting messages like the following:
Purged client ID '73927-38624832'; Last visited '{ts '2002-04-03
13:25:37'}'.
Can anyone tell me exactly what's going on here? Are these client variables
expiring? My guess is yes, and that somewhere I've set a three month
expiration date (Apr 3 to July 2).
Thanks in advance,
Andrew

Re: Server Log Question
It would help to know what kind of log this is (FTP or HTTP or ???), and the particular server software and OS. I'm guessing it may be FTP (port 21)? If that's the case, the entry probably just means that a file was sent to a client from the server. Until you identify the software creating this log entry, I doubt if any could help you with changing the information that's being logged.
