Viewing the Error Log File
The error log file contains errors the server has encountered since the log file was
created; it also contains informational messages about the server, such as when the
server was started. Unsuccessful user authentication is also recorded in the error
log. Use the error log to find broken URL paths or missing files.
To view the Administration Server’s error log file, from the Administration Server,
choose the Preferences tab, and choose the View Error Log page.
