ASP.NET Development Server - logfile location

Question

When trying to get a RESTful WCF service POST to work in ASP.NET we are seeing the following error message in the browser:

The server encountered an error processing the request. See server logs for more details.

We are using the ASP.NET Development Server - does anyone know where it keeps its log files?

Answer 1

Does anything show up on the Event Viewer?

Answer 2

You can get more details if you activate the debug messages in the web.config file inside the behavior section :

<serviceDebug 
            httpHelpPageEnabled="true" 
            includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true"
          />

Answer 3

The built-in development server should be outputting message to the event viewer Application log. Mine does.

Answer 4

You might want to consider configuring WCF tracing as described in this MSDN article.
