Administrator’s Guide (Mac OS)

Using FileMaker Pro Server 2-5
The file, called FileMaker Pro Server Log, is created in the FileMaker Pro
Server 3.0 Folder. Use any application capable of opening plain text files to
view or print it. You can have the log file open when FileMaker Pro Server
is running, but you won’t see updates to the log file while it’s open; you must
close it and then reopen it to see changes. For more information about the log
file and error conditions it reports, see appendix A, “Technical specifications
and optimization.”
FileMaker Pro Server creates a new log file each time you start
FileMaker Pro Server and renames the previous file FileMaker Pro Server
Last Log. To save a particular log file, rename it in the Finder.
