<div><p>This topic provides information about how to set up logs to record
events and other information for your HTTP Server with the <span>IBM<sup>®</sup> Web Administration for i5/OS™ interface</span>.</p>
<div class="important"><span class="importanttitle">Important:</span> Information
for this topic supports the latest PTF levels for HTTP Server for i5/OS .
It is recommended that you install the latest PTFs to upgrade to the latest
level of the HTTP Server for i5/OS. Some of the topics documented here are
not available prior to this update. See <a href="http://www-03.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/software/http/services/service.html" target="_blank">http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/software/http/services/service.htm</a> <img src="www.gif" alt="Link outside Information Center" /> for more information. </div>
<p>Your HTTP Server (powered by Apache) can generate a record of events commonly
referred to as a Log. Logs can contain error messages, information on what
is being accessed on your HTTP Server (powered by Apache), who is accessing
your HTTP Server (powered by Apache), script logs, and FRCA logs.</p>

<div class="hr" id="joblog"><a name="joblog"><!-- --></a><h2 class="topictitle2">HTTP server job logs</h2>
<div><p>The HTTP Server job logs contain messages or exceptions. The HTTP Server

<div><p id="trace__introtrace"><a name="trace__introtrace"><!-- --></a>The HTTP Server (powered by Apache) trace allows you to
view various levels of trace information related to a specific server. You
will need to have a 5250 session on the iSeries™ your HTTP Server is currently
running on. </p>
<ol><li>Start a 5250 session. </li>
<li>Start the server with a parameter of the STRTCPSVR command. Use the following: <ul><li>-ve (error) for a trace that contains records for all error return codes
or exception conditions. </li>
<li>-vi (information) for a trace that contains -ve level trace records as
well as trace records for entry and exit points from application level API's
and API parameters. </li>
<li> -vv (verbose) for a trace that contains -vi level trace records as well
as trace records for debugging control flow or data corruption. </li>
</ul>
<p>For example <tt>STRTCPSVR *HTTP HTTPSVR(JKLSERVER '-vv')</tt>. </p>
</li>
<li>There are three ways to get output from the trace: <ul><li><tt>ENDTCPSVR</tt> - When the server is ended the trace data is placed
into a spool file. There is a spool file for each job that is running on the
server. If a server ends abnormally, trace data is placed into spool files
even if tracing is not active at the time of the error. </li>
<li><tt>DMPUSRTRC</tt> - This command dumps the trace data for a specific
job to the display or to a physical file member in the <tt>QTEMP</tt> library.
For example: <ol type="a"><li>Use the <tt>WRKACTJOB</tt> command to find the server job number. For
example WRKACTJOB SBS(QHTTPSVR). </li>
<li>Dump the user trace to a file in QTEMP. For example <tt>DMPUSRTRC JOB(nnnnnn/QTMHHTTP/MYSERVER)</tt>,
where <tt>nnnnnn</tt> is the job number and <tt>MYSERVER</tt> is the server.
</li>
<li>Use the <tt>DSPPFM</tt> command to view the contents of the trace. For
example <tt>DSPPFM QTEMP/QAP0ZDMP MBR(QP0Znnnnnn)</tt>. </li>
</ol>
</li>
<li><tt>TRCTCPAPP</tt> - You can use the <tt>TRCTCPAPP</tt> command to initiate
a trace after the server is started and to end a trace. To use the <tt>TRCTCPAPP</tt> command,
the server must have been started with the STRTCPSVR command.<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> If you
started the trace with the <tt>STRTCPSVR</tt> and one of the trace startup
parameters (-ve, -vi, or -vv), then you must do the following to end the trace: </div>
<ol type="a"><li>Enter the <tt>TRCTCPAPP SET (*ON)</tt> command to synchronize it with
the <tt>STRTCPSVR</tt> command. For example: <tt>TRCTCPAPP APP(HTTP) SET(*ON)
HTTPSVR(JKLSERVER) TRCLVL(*VERBOSE)</tt>. </li>
<li>Enter the <tt>TRCTCPAPP SET (*OFF)</tt> command. For example: <tt>TRCTCPAPP
APP(*HTTP) SET (*OFF) TITLE('My title')</tt>. </li>
