Log file location for BoostSolutions Products

How to access the actual log file instead of checking them in the product settings page?

Solution:

BoostSolutions products have their own log locations under the SharePoint directory, if the product provides the log function. The path would be under the SharePoint system folder:

[disk]:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\LOGS\Product Name+Log(s)

12 — SP2007

14 — SP2010

15 — SP2013

*********************************************

For instance, the log for Ad Administration is:

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\LOGS\ADAdministrationLog

Applies for: SharePoint 2013, SharePoint 2010, SharePoint 2007

Admin — Mon, 31 Mar 2014 19:44:06 +0000

Sometimes, after upgrade BoostSolutions product, user cannot get access into sites. The error message could be "SharePoint Foundation" or "File not found".

Solution:

This issue is caused by the conflict between the old version "sharepointboost" and the new version "boostsolutions" while the old version "sharepointboost" hasn’t been removed completely during the upgrade.

Conflicting solution detected

While installing products, in the initial system check stage, a conflicting message shows:

Conflicting solution detected.

This is mostly because a package was installed previously in the system while it’s installing a single product instead. Simply just remove the package product and reinstall the single product, the conflict would be gone.
