Utilities: Administration: Server: Debug Log

The Debug log is intended for programmers to diagnose and see any problems associated with the log files created by Aurea List Manager. This feature is only available to server administrators. The debug log view in the GUI reads the same text log files which are created automatically by ListManager, which is in the same directory as your ListManager executable. Multiple log files are created over time, usually log1.txt, log2.txt, log3.txt, etc.

To disable the Aurea List Manager startup logging, edit lmcfg.txtand include the following line:

$log_startup_messages="no"
