Web Server Log Files

Your Virtual Private Server Apache Web Server logs all the traffic at your Web site to log files located in your ~/www/logs directory. There are either two or four log files there depending upon how web server is configured. Newer Virtual Private Servers are configured by default to log in the Combined Log Format. All information is logged to the access_log or the error_log

Log File Analysis Programs

The actual data logged in the web server log files is cryptic, to say the least. The easiest way to get useful information from your logs is by using a Web Log Analyzer to process and analyze it for you.
