Patrizia -> Enabling Debug and Generating Troubleshooter files (29.Dec.2005 9:19:47 AM)

How to enable debug and send us troubleshooter files:

1. Enable Debug mode.

a) Open the Registry (Start -> Run -> Type 'regedit' and press Enter)
b) Go to the key : [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\GFi Fax & Voice\SELM\Config]
c) Set the DWORD value named 'DEBUG' to '1'
d) Set the DWORD value named 'DEBUGLEVEL' to '7'
e) Restart the LANguard S.E.L.M. services.

2. Reproduce the problem.


3. Generate Troubleshooter files. (These files contain important information, which will allow us to investigate the issue.)

a) The troubleshooter files can be generated from the LANguard  S.E.L.M. troubleshooter program that can be found in the LANguard Security Event Log Monitor program group. 
b) Please answer the questions set by the troubleshooter as accurately as possible. 
c) Once the troubleshooter program is finished, it will create a number of files under the LANguard SELM\Support directory.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Please compress all files into one zip file.

4. Upload the files to FTP

Should the files collected exceed 7MB or are too large for you to send, please upload to our FTP Server. The FTP details are below:
Host: ftp://ftp.gfisoftware.com
User: gfi
Pass: gfi911cust
(If using Internet Explorer use ftp://gfi:gfi911cust@ftp.gfisoftware.com)

a) Create a new folder on your machine and name it using either your ticket number or company name (e.g. domain.com)
b) Copy support.zip to the new directory.
c) Login to the FTP server.
d) Upload the directory with the troubleshooting files to the ftp server.
NOTE: When the upload is finished, you will not be able to see the directory or the files. This is done to safeguard your privacy

6. Use the support request form to open a case with GFI support.

This should contain the following:
i)    Short Decription of the issue.
ii)   If you have posted the issue to the forums or you encounter any relevant topics on the forums, reference the url of the topic.
iii)  Include troubleshooter files or the name of the file/folder you have uploaded.
