Problems Accessing Log File

[dahquim]

Good afternoon all

I am haviong problems accessing the log files on my domain.

I can oppen them by downloading them, and view them using the control panel, but i am trying to write a little asp that gets the current uncompressed file and displays it nicely.

however wehn i try to do this i get a "Permission Denied Error", i thought that i might be having problems so i wrote a little script that looked to see if the file existed, and it says it does not... and i know it does.

The path i am using is:
d:\domains\<domain name>\logs\W3SVC5781\

can someone help me, as when i try this locally it works ok..

Thanks in advance

Hi Hanzs,

The easiest thing to do add SmarterStats as extra feature for £10 a year. However if you want to debug your code, please post it up here and we can have a look.

Ok, first thing i make the path

<%
MyYear = right(year(date), 2)
If month(date) < 10 Then
MyMonth = "0" & month(date)
Else
MyMonth = month(date)
End If
If day(date) < 10 Then
MyDay = "0" & day(date)
Else
MyDay = day(date)
End If

Foldername = "d:\domains\hanzswolfgang.co.uk\logs\W3SVC5781 \ex" & myyear & mymonth & myday & ".log"
%>

Then i checked to see if the file exists, and this is where i get the 'File does not exist."

<%
Set fs=Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject ")
Response.Write(Foldername & "<br />")
If (fs.FileExists(Foldername))=true Then
Response.Write("File exists.")
Else
Response.Write("File does not exist.")
End If
set fs=nothing
%>

Its not alot of code, or very complicated... hope u can help, i haven't even got round to formatting the output yet, as i cannot open the file... one step at a time and all that.

Thanks

Do you have a live copy of the code somewhere?

Jacob - from experience the perms on the w3c folder are not correctly set

dahquim - if you open a ticket with your details someone *should* be able to fix it

[dahquim]

yes the file is located here:

Hi Hanzs,

I have just updated your permissions - it is now finding the file. (Thanks WhiskyFudge )
