Hi Tim,

I've looked at the manual but could not see any option to see what the
ewb server logs of events, am i wrong?
This morning my application could not load datasets, a restart of
webserver (service) fixed the problem, but i would like to know what had
happened

Regards,
Hüseyin A.

No, you're not wrong.  There is no logging in the web server at this time.  The web server will be getting some updates in early-to-mid 2016, including domain-specific configurations, SSL, and logging, among other things.

Originally, the web server wasn't included with EWB.  I had to scramble and add one, so it needs some more features.

If you want something more full-featured, then IIS or Apache is the ticket for now.

I just experienced something similar, where the EWB server stop processing requests a restart of the EWB service fixed the problem but wondered what other were doing for logging / troubleshooting, even to backtrack when the problem may have occurred?

There still isn't any logging present in the EWB Web Server at this time, so there's not much you can do at this point.  2.07 will be resolving a lot of long-standing issues with the EWB Web Server (again, which was just added to EWB as a stop-gap measure originally, so it has taken time to get it all fixed).

However, I have *never* seen the EWB Web Server stop responding to requests, so I'm not sure exactly what you're describing.  Are you not able to even request static resources like HTML or JS resources ?  Also, are you using any custom web server modules with the EWB Web Server ?  Web server modules run in the same address space as the web server and need to respect the rules regarding multi-threading, so if you screw up something in terms of multi-threaded access, you can definitely bring the web server down.

Looking forward to 2.07 being released, any progress report?

I have stunnel in front of EWB but I was just getting blank pages, no error messages. I could see logs flowing via stunnel, but didn't know where to look in EWB so restarted the server and all working again. Some basic logging would be useful even just IP address, timestamp, and request details.

Anthony,

Nothing new to report at this time, no.  I'm sidetracked working on support and existing products right now.

However, you didn't answer my question: are you using any web server modules at all ?

No not using any modules but also not implying it was a problems with the EWB server either, could have been firewall, windows or anything - it just stopped working and could see logs in stunnel but didn't know how to troubleshoot EWB without logs.

If you run into such a situation, you should see if you can connect directly to the EWB Web Server using the local loopback address/localhost and see if the EWB Web Server is responding.  That will at least give you an indication if the issue is with the EWB Web Server or another service.

Are you using any ADO datasets accessing something like MySQL via ODBC ? There's a known issue with multi-threading and versions 5.3.x of the MySQL ODBC driver, and it can really cause havoc with the EWB Web Server process.
