Release: 8.0.2

Reproducible: Not applicable

I have a Domino Web Server Log that has grown out of control. It is so large that the compact task doesn't seem to be doing anything. It is currently 15GB. Just trying to open it with my client will cause my client to lock up and cause server problems for others. I would like to just delete it and recreate another, but I am unsure of what that process is. Can someone tell me the process? Thanks!

To answer my own question, I found the solution with a quick google search.

AnswerTo create a new Domino Web Server log database and begin logging data to it, do the following:

1. Stop the HTTP task by entering tell http quit at the server console.

2. Enter the command dbcache flush at the server console to close all databases open in the cache, including the domlog.

3. Rename the current domlog.nsf file to a new name.

4. Restart the HTTP task by entering the command load http at the server console. When the HTTP task loads, it creates a new domlog.nsf if one does not exist.
