You will find log files for IBM Aspera Faspex and its associated components in the following directories:

In the Faspex Apache log folder, you will find the following files:

access_log

To further configure the Faspex Apache's log settings, execute the following commands in a command prompt (Start > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt):

Setting	Command
Specify Apache log level (e.g. error level)	`>` asctl apache:log_level error
Enable Apache log (i.e. set to notice)	`>` asctl apache:enable_logs
Disable Apache log (i.e. set to emerg level)	`>` asctl apache:disable_logs

Transfer logs are stored in the following location:

OS Version	Path
32-bit Windows	C:\Program Files\Aspera\Enterprise Server\var\log
64-bit Windows	C:\Program Files (x86)\Aspera\Enterprise Server\var\log

You will find the following component-based log files within the logs folder:
