    Webspace creates a new log file every time the Proficy Webspace Application Publishing Service starts. Over time these files can accumulate and consume a significant amount of disk space. To help manage these files, Webspace lets you delete or backup log files and set file size or age limits. By default, the logs are stored in this folder on the Webspace Server: C:\Program Files\Proficy\Proficy Webspace\Log.

Selecting a New Location for the Log Files

About this task

By default, log files are created and stored in the Log folder on the Webspace Server machine. By default, this folder is: C:\Program Files\Proficy\Proficy Webspace\Log. You can select a new location for the log files through the Webspace Admin Console's Host Options dialog.

Be aware that the Webspace Server cannot back up log files directly to a network folder. For example, if you type a UNC path or a mapped network drive in the folder edit box, the following message is displayed:

"Please specify a usable Windows folder where log files may be written."

Procedure

From the Webspace Admin Console, on the server list, select the desired server.
On the Tools menu, click Host Options. The Host Options dialog box appears.
Click the Log tab.
In the Folder edit box, type the path to the new directory or browse to its location.

Note: You should move the Backup folder and existing log files to the new location, along with the Templates and Codes subfolders.
