Hi, everyone,

Today, I was looking over our FileMaker logs and I noticed the wpc_access_log. I was about to open it when I realized that it is over 1GB! My initial thought was to create a new text file with the same name, then rename the old one so I could go over it on my own time, but when I did this, permissions became an issue and I had to revert it.

I was wondering what I can do with this file. I the log size limit enabled on the server and set to 40 MB, but perhaps that doesn't affect wpc_access_log? I would prefer to open it on my own machine and leave a blank text file there for the log to continue recording into. If I copy the file, then delete it from the server, will the server create a new one in it's place without issues?

Thanks.

You can safely copy it for reference later.

To reduce its size: just open the original and delete everything except the most recent few lines.

On your next maintenance restart, when FMS is completely stopped, remove the file and don't leave anything in its place. FMS will create a new one.
