Web publishing logs
The Web Publishing Engine generates the following log files:
• The wpc_access_log.txt access log is a record of all end-user requests to generate XML
and to use FileMaker Server Instant Web Publishing
. These requests are routed from the
web server
directly to the Web Publishing Core component of the Web Publishing Engine.
• The pe_internal_access_log.txt access log is a record of all internal XML requests that the
XSLT-CWP software component of the Web Publishing Engine makes while processing
XSLT
requests. These requests are routed internally within the Web Publishing Engine from
the XSLT-CWP software component to the Web Publishing Core software component.
• The pe_application_log.txt application log file is a record of Web Publishing Engine error,
ScriptMaker
script, and user log information.
• The error log information describes any unusual Web Publishing Engine errors that
have occurred. Common errors reported to the web user, such as “Database not open,”
are not recorded.
• The script log information describes any errors generated when web users execute
scripts. For example, it lists script steps that are skipped if they’re not web-compatible.
• The user log messages contains messages generated by the XSLT <xsl:message>
element in XSLT stylesheets. Whenever web users access your XSLT stylesheet,
information you’ve included within a <xsl:message> element is recorded in the
application log file.
To configure logging for web publishing, see General web publishing settings
