ACEweb Pages Spin and Never Load (VFP Users Only)

The most common reason for pages never loading is a corrupted wwrequestlog. The wwrequestlog is where ACEweb logs every page hit. ACEweb is constantly opening/closing it and sometimes it will become corrupted.

To fix this, you must delete then recreate the wwrequestlog files.

1. Log into the server as an Administrator.
2. Open the Task Manager and stop any instances of the aw3.exe running.
3. Go into the inetpub\aceweb folder and delete all the files starting with wwrequestlog (i.e. wwrequstlog.dbf, wwrequestlog.fxp, etc.).
4. Fnd the aw3.exe in the same folder and double-click it to start it. This will cause ACEweb to create new wwrequestlog files for ACEweb to use.
5. Once the Web Connection window opens, you can click the Exit button to shut it back down.

You can now test an ACEweb page to see if it now loads.

Note: sometimes you get a COM error when trying the ACEweb page. That can happen because you manually shut down the aw3.exe via Task Manager. Reloading the page usually resolves that.
