Hi Rick,

We had a server 'crash' over the weekend and it ended up being that the wwRequestLog was full / hit the VFP 2GB size limit. We've been running webconnect for years and have never had this problem as we don't use the wwRequestLog. Looking at the data in there, it looks like it started logging stuff in October of last year which is when we upgraded to V8.

I saw on your docs (https://webconnection.west-wind.com/docs/_5zp0pnxir.htm) to set LogFormat=0, however that setting is not even in my <>.ini file. Instead I have a LogToFile=Off

Can I simply change my LogToFile=Off to LogFormat=0 or are there other settings I need as well that work in conjunction with the new LogFormat flag?

There was a change some time ago to switch to wwServer.nLogFormat

Logformat=0

Initial value: 1

Available values:

  • 0 - No logging
  • 1 - Minimal Log Data (Errors and base request information)
  • 2 - All data without POST data
  • 3 - Full Request Logging including truncated POST data (very verbose!)

I've added the missing documentation and removed lLogToFile.

Thanks Rick! I've got that updated on our side and our logs are no longer bloating up.
