BoKS troubleshooting: servc error messages in the log file

2009-08-27 08:49:00

BoKS logs all transactions into $BOKS_var/data/LOG, which then gets rotates to another location of your choosing. Every single request that's handled by BoKS gets logged, detailing who did what, where, when and why. If a transaction fails, the servc process will indicate the error message in the log file. This may not always make clear what is wrong (like the infamous and useless ERR223), but it sure helps you in your troubleshooting.

All of the error messages are listed in the BoKS administration manual. However, since a lot of people also chose not to RTFM I thought I might as well copy the list over here ^_^.

You will also find a more up-to-date list of these messages in $BOKS_var/mess.eng, which acts as a translation file between BoKS errors and plain English.
