Hi, I saw the post below about nothing showing up in the advanced log directory, and this is a
very active webserver. and I have the same situation here. Here is my setup:
IIS version: 7.5
IIS Manager Console:
Select-->Server-->Advanced Logging (Under "IIS)-->Open Feature(right pannel)-->Enable Advanced Logging
Select-->Server-->Advanced Logging (Under "IIS)-->Open Feature(right pannel)-->Edit Log Directory
Both server and default log directories are set to "D:\inetpub\logs\LogFiles\AdvancedLogs" right next to existing logs, with permissions set the same as the regular log directories.
Select-->Server-->Advanced Logging (Under "IIS)-->Open Feature(right pannel)-->Select %COMPUTERNAME%-Server-->Actions-->Edit Log Definition:
Everything is default except "Publish real-time events" and "Write to disk" are both checked. Click "Apply"
Select-->Default Web Site-->Advanced Logging-->Open Feature-->%COMPUTERNAME%-Server-->Edit Log Definition...
I confirmed that everything is set right, default except "Publish real-time events" and "Write to disk" are selected.
I return to View Log Files... nothing appears
I then restart the default web server.
Nothing
I restart the server itself
Nothing
I restart World Wide Web Services in the Services list
Nothing
I disable IIS Logging (Default Web Site-->Logging-->Open Feature-->Disable)
Nothing
I look at the Event Log, and it spews "Failed to create the log file.... The log definition has been disabled"
So I check the log definition and the console says "enabled" both under the web server and default web site.
Still getting the error, so... I delete the log file and create a new one setup like before and I make sure it is enabled.
Same error.
So, OK, while I keep trying to get this to work, is there any way to FORCE the service to recognize the definition has been enabled?
Thanks!
