Admin Assistant Logs
The Admin Assistant writes the following information to a file, when startup is successful:
Thu Mar 04 2004 15:07:11 started http://openlinux.openlinksw.com:8051
Here, we see the URL through which a Web browser may access the Admin Assistant.
The first part of the URL designates the machine (openlinux.openlinksw.com) on which it started.
The number appended to the end of the machine (:8051) is the TCP port on which it listens.
This is set by the HTTPServer value in the www_sv.ini file.
The www_sv.ini file is generally found in the /bin/w3config sub-directory of
The Admin Assistant will write simple error messages to the log when startup fails. Specific error messages and their meanings and resolutions are documented elsewhere.
We have been discussing the default log produced by the Admin Assistant (log level 5).
However, you can cause the Admin Assistant to run at different log levels, by setting the log level in the [www_sv] stanza of the Session Rulebook.
For example:
[www_sv] Program = w3config/www_sv Directory = w3config CommandLine = +loglevel 6
Log level 7 causes the Admin Assistant to output an HTTP log that display individual scripts and images as it serves them.
Be sure to look for errors interspersed between the entries.
