Log files

use iGet Mobile's logs to track accesses to your server, or troubleshoot problems


iGet Mobile keeps two sparate log files. These files can be displayed by choosing Show Access Log or Show Error Log from the Server menu. This will open the appropriate log file in the system's Console application.

The Access Log

This log keeps a record of every access to your personal server, including every IP address that has accessed your server, and every file requested. This log can therefore be very verbose.

The Error Log

If iGet Mobile's web server component encounters an error, it writes a message to this log file. It also writes messages to this log file for certain diagnostic details.

If you experience problems connecting to your server, check this log for clues.

Note that if you use the default "self-signed" SSL certificate, a warning will be generated in this log. This is normal. Such warnings look something like this:

 [warn] RSA server certificate CommonName (CN) `iGet Mobile Self-signed Certificate' does NOT match server name!?

It is normal to get warnings when using this type of certificate, since it is not signed by a well-known authority. For more details, see the SSL Security section of this guide.
