Post subject: Where does apache put log files?
Archived from groups: alt>apache>configuration (more info?)
Im trying to locate my websites log files so i can set up some free website
stats software
I have ftp access to the server and found a folder called:

/httpd-2.0.46

Im guessing this is the folder for the apache2 installation?.
My website virtual info looks like:

<VirtualHost *>
ServerAdmin webmaster.TakeThisOut@xxx.com
DocumentRoot /usr/home/xxx
ServerName www.xxx.com
ErrorLog logs/xxx.com-error_log
CustomLog logs/xxx.com-access_log common
scriptalias /cgi-bin/ /usr/home/xxx/cgi-bin/
DirectoryIndex index.htm index.html index.php
</VirtualHost>

The website stats software said my logs might be found at:
/var/log/apache/access.log
but i cant find a folder called var, log or logs in directory
/httpd-2.0.46

Anyone have any ideas?

Sorry, but we can't know where your FTP-rootfolder in the system is (the
FTP-root must not be equal to the system-root; most times they aren't
equal). What contents this folder? Perhaps the sources of apache?

Sure. /var/log/apache/access.log is an absolute path to a file, not a
relative. So you will find the folder var in the root-folder of your
system. Additional to the documentation about CustomLog read the
documentation about ServerRoot.

As additional information, the compile settings:
httpd -V | grep HTTPD_ROOT
httpd -V | grep XFERLOG

Hi Claudio

My virtual host file says:

<VirtualHost *>
ServerAdmin webmaster RemoveThis @xxx.co.uk
DocumentRoot /usr/home/xxx
ServerName www.xxx.co.uk
ErrorLog logs/xxx.co.uk-error_log
CustomLog logs/xxx.co.uk-access_log combined
scriptalias /cgi-bin/ /usr/home/xxx/cgi-bin/
DirectoryIndex index.htm index.html index.php
</VirtualHost>


For my awstats software would my target to my log file therefore be?

LogFile="/var/log/apache/xxx.co.uk-access_log ????

You posted in <1061330199.11489.0 RemoveThis @echo.uk.clara.net>
| The website stats software said my logs might be found at:
| /var/log/apache/access.log

O.K., this paths are a little bit strangely. I see two possibilities:

- The correct path is /var/log/apache/logs/xxx.co.uk-access_log and you
don't have read the documentation about CustomLog or ServerRoot.
- there are more then one Logfile and you didn't told us the complete
configuration. (I missed at least a NameVirtualHost-directive)

We are speaking about a UNIX/Linux-based server? I guess, this server is
an outdoor-server (You are using Microsoft Outlook Express V6). Do you
have any possibility to a remote login? No, I don't mean FTP, I mean
TELNET or much better SSH. Get some help for using a shell. Make a login
and search the files.

If you use virtual hosts then if your server path is
/usr/local/httpd/htdocs
then you will find
/usr/local/httpd/logs
with your virtual host log files in.
