IIS Log

To determine where your IIS log files are stored, please perform the following steps on your server:
  1. Go to Start -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools
  2. Run Internet Information Services (IIS).
  3. Find your Web site under the tree on the left.
  4. Right-click on it and choose Properties.
  5. On the Web site tab, you will see an option near the bottom that says "Active Log Format." Click on the Properties button.
  6. At the bottom of the General Properties tab, you will see a box that contains the log file directory and the log file name. The full log path is comprised of the log file directory plus the first part of the log file name.
For example, if the dialog box displayed the following values:
  • Log file directory: C:\Windows\System32\LogFiles
  • Log file name: W3SVC1\exyymmdd.log
Then your full log path to put into SmarterStats would be:
C:\Windows\System32\LogFiles\W3SVC1

I downloaded an IIS log analyzer from here:

Troubleshooting report viewer launcher Client found response content type of 'text/html; charset=utf-8', but expected 'text/xml'. The request failed with the error message

In this case, notice the error "

The report server cannot open a connection to the report server database. A connection to the database is required for all requests and processing. (rsReportServerDatabaseUnavailable)

It took me a while to realize/remember that the MT application I was running locally uses the credentials in web.config for the report viewer:

    <add key="ReportServerAccessAccountUsername" value="ReportServiceAccount"/>
    <add key="ReportServerAccessAccountPassword" value="Tr@p3z3"/>
    <add key="ReportServerAccessAccountDomain" value="AZ-Dev5"/>

Creating a PDF from Trapeze PASS reports


Question: in Pass Reports, is there a way to export to PDF that you're aware of?
Cary McQuitty/Trapsoft Inc: I have always installed primo pdf then use it as the printer
