Release Build
This
distribution is a RELEASE build and has little trace and or debug
assertions to help find bugs. If you rebuild from source code, a DEBUG
build will be created which has more trace to assist in debugging.
Performance with the DEBUG build will be slower and the memory
footprint will be larger than with the release build.
Helpful Hints
Debug Trace and Logging
AppWeb has a debug logging and trace facility that can help greatly
when debugging configuration issues or developing your application
code that uses AppWeb. You can see what modules are loaded and
how, what requests arrive and how they are serviced. You can also
vary the level of logging via the appweb.conf configuration
file or via the -l logfile command line switch. The log
command line switch has the format
-l logFile:logLevel
where level can be from 0 to 9, with 9 being the most verbose level.
A level of 6 usually gives plenty of detail. You can define
the log file and log level via the appweb.conf file
using the ErrorLog and LogLevel directives.
