Examining server log files (11)

Examining server log files (11)

You can determine the nature of server errors by viewing the server logfile on the server computer. To do so, follow these steps:

  1. Enter 11 at the Calendar Administration menu. The top of the server logfile, similar to this example, appears:
       Calendar server is located on machine: 'london'
       DATE: 06-05-94  TIME: 01:00:59
       

    Server exiting! Goodbye! Press <return> to continue:

  2. Press <Space> as needed to view more of the logfile. When you reach the end of the file, press <Return> to move back to the Calendar Administration menu.
In the example shown previously, the server could not open the event database. This could indicate a permissions problem. While some error messages do not pinpoint the exact nature of the problem, most provide a basis for further troubleshooting.
