Although my official title is DBA, but at a small start-up, an "IT dude" is supposed to be capable of solving all kinds of problems which may be way beyond the database realm. And to please our big boss, I happily accepted a task to investigate why one of our IIS websites fails to generate any logging records in the log file directory. What entails is a significant amount of hours which only leads to a simple and stupid overlook by a previous "IT dude" who actually set up the whole website.
The following screen shot from tab "Web Site" on the IIS site properties is a must-go place for checking all the logging settings for IIS and it surely looks perfect on our server.
However, the other missing check box on the "Home Directory" tab turned out to be the ultimate cause for this site failing to deliver any log files.
