I just found it's not that different from unix/linux, you have to put the following at the begining of your start.bat script: SET STUPID_LOG_FILE=C:\Program Files\zope\var\zope.log By the way, if you still want to have a command prompt windows with the last errors occured, then you have to install "tail for windows" and use it with the "zope.log". I found once two versions. They weren't as as nice as the unix/linux one, but they did their work. Regards, Josef --- In zope@yahoogroups.com, "Josef Meile" <jmeile@h...> wrote:

I looked in z2.log and there was no activity between the last restart of the server (4pm this morning for the nightly backups) and this morning 9pm when the service just was not running. The Z2.log won't give you many clues. It only shows you the hits to your server, but not the exceptions occured.

Where should I look? How could this be avoided/prevented? You should setup a log file for your zope in order to see what the problem is. I don't know how to do it on windows, but I think this has being discussed before. You have to search perhaps for STUPID_LOG + Windows. However, if I not bad and you're using zope 2.7.x, this procedure was made plattform independent, you only have to modify a config file.
