Troubleshooting MSMQ over HTTP - nothing in the web server log files?
If you are scratching your head because the files in the %windir%\system32\LogFiles\W3SVC1 directory have no entries for the incoming MSMQ messages then you need to tick two boxes:
- Open up Computer Management
- Navigate to:
- Services and Applications
- Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager
- Right-click the web site and choose Properties
- On the Web Site tab, tick "Enable Logging" and press OK
- Right-click the MSMQ application underneath the web site and choose Properties
- On the Virtual Directory tab, tick "Log visits" and press OK
From the Help:
Log visits
Select to configure IIS to record visits to this directory in a log file.
Visits are recorded only if logging is enabled for this Web site.
You should now start getting POST entries in the IIS logs:
2009-10-21 16:30:53 W3SVC1 10.0.0.1 POST /msmq/private$/webqueue - 80 - 10.0.0.5 - 200 0 0
2009-10-21 16:30:53 W3SVC1 10.0.0.1 POST /msmq/private$/webqueue - 80 - 10.0.0.5 - 200 0 64
