Error log files, such as err.log, err.log.stack, out.log, are not created when CPS is first installed

Issue

After a clean installation of Macromedia Contribute Publishing Server (CPS), an Administrator might notice the log files are not created. The expected log files are err.log, err.log.stack and out.log.

Reason

The log files are not created automatically when CPS is first installed.

Solution

Perform an operation, such as Administering a site with CPS. Once an action has been performed with CPS, then CPS will create the log files and log any errors that were found.
