Why Multiple Log directories in IIS?

All of my servers log the web traffic to W3SVC1, but 1 of them logs to W3SVC2....  Why does this happen and how do I change it to log to 1 like the rest...

There is a new directory for each website, it's to group the log files, as you can get a new log each week (depending on your settings), or it could be a new one each month. I recommend keeping them all seperate in a directory of their own.

If you do want to change it, you right click the website in question, click properties, on the website tab on the bottom you will see a button called "Properties" click this and this is where you will be able to define where to store the log file for that website, and when to roll the log file over.
