No, not at all.

We prefer linux because we don't have to pay to have an OS installed on
our machines, that's all, but we provide builds for windows because it's
widely used, like it or not.

On Linux you have the flexibility of running it using shell script without
depending on the wrapper.

Is it generally recommended to run Apache DS on Linux vs Windows?

Sometimes the search logs stop showing any result of ldapsearch
requests. This Apache Directory Studio 2.0.0 on a a Windows 7
system.

It would first help me to know how to configure the location for the
wrapper.log on Microsoft Windows, and any other log files.   In
wrapper.conf see a reference to "wrapper.log" file, but the single
occurrence of that file was only written to during the install of
Apache DS.

What kind of log do you want exactly ?

If you want to have some logs about every received message, you can
modify the log4j.properties to set the
org.apache.directory.server.ldap.handlers.request package to DEBUG.


You'll receive logs like :

LOG.debug( "Received: {}", bindRequest );
LOG.debug( "Handling request: {}", req );
LOG.debug( "Handling compare request while ignoring referrals:
{}", req );
LOG.debug( "Handling request: {}", req );
LOG.debug( "Handling modify dn request while ignoring referrals:
{}", req );
LOG.debug( "Handling request : {}", req );
LOG.debug( "Handling single reply request: {}", req );
LOG.debug( "Received: {}", unbindRequest );

Four problems here :
- not all the messages get logged (Abandon)
- not all extended operations are logged, and they use a different logger
- overall, the messages are not consistent
- you'll be flooded by logs you do'nt want.

A better option would be to set a logger on
org.apache.directory.api.ldap.codec.api.LdapDecoder. You will then get
the fully decoded LDAP message like :

LOG.debug( "Decoded LdapMessage : " + container );
