Viewing the MOS log file
During operation, the Xmedia Server’s MOS activities are recorded in a log file. The logging
criteria is determined by the settings specified in the MOS L
OGGING O PTIONS (see page 7-8 ).
The contents of the log file are valuable for troubleshooting if for some reason the Xmedia
Server‘s MOS server component is not behaving properly.
To view the MOS log file:
1.
Open the Xmedia Server Control Panel’s MOS page and select C ONFIGURATION from
the MOS OPTION drop-down list.
2. Verify that the E NABLED check box is selected.
3. Verify that the Path field displays the full directory path to the MOS log file, which is
named vxmos.log.
If the log file path is not displayed, click the path field’s
BROWSE button and use the
B ROWSE FOR C OMPUTER dialog box (figure 7-8 ) to navigate your way to the log file.
For example:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\VertigoXmedia\Logs\vxmos.log
