I'm trying to find my IIS log files and I seem to be having a problem.
First off I've gone into IIS and right clicked on the site in question and selected properties...
Under the Web Site tab I have the Enable Logging check box checked.
The active log format is set to W3C Extended Log File Format.
To get where the log files should be being stored I click the Properties button next to the log format drop down list. It has this path as C:\WINDOWS\system32\LogFiles. Then below that input box it has the log file name as W3SVC1919798527\exyymmdd.log
The problem is that the folder W3SVC1919798527 doesn't exist in the C:\WINDOWS\system32\LogFiles folder... nor does it appear to exist on the PC anywhere... What am I doing wrong? Where can I find the log files for this site? Or am I totally misunderstanding what a log file is and where to find it?
Thanks

Ok, I had to check the Log Visits check box on the Home Directory tab when viewing the properties dialog box of the web site in IIS.
