Helpful Hints

Debug Trace and Logging

Appweb has logging and request trace facilities that can help when debugging configuration issues or developing your application code that uses Appweb. You can vary the level of logging via the --log logfile command line switch for the appweb commands. The log command line switch has the format:

appweb --log logFile:logLevel

Use the -v switch to trace to the standard output at level 2.

appweb -v

The log level can be from 0 to 5, with 5 being the most verbose level.

Similarly you can emit HTTP request trace using the --trace switch.

appweb --trace traceFile:traceLevel

The -v switch will emit request trace to the standard output at level 2 combined with the error log.
