Microsoft Internet Information Server version 1.0

SUMMARY

The Internet Information Server records FTP, Gopher and WWW server logon activities to the %SystemRoot%\System32\LogFiles directory by default. This article describes how to record the log information to three separate files.

MORE INFORMATION

To write to different logs files, create three directories under %SystemRoot%\system32\LogFiles as follows:

   %SystemRoot%\system32\LogFiles\FTP
   %SystemRoot%\system32\LogFiles\Gopher
   %SystemRoot%\system32\LogFiles\WWW

From Internet Server Manager select one service at a time and click on the "Logging" tab.

Modify the "Log file directory" to point to the new corresponding path shown above.

Click on OK.

Follow the procedure for steps 1 through 3 for FTP, Gopher, and WWW.

Stop and restart all three services from the Internet Server Manager.
