Your
Virtual 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 Server
s are configured by default to log in the Combined Log Format. All information
is logged to the access_log or the error_log
Older
Virtual Server
s are configured by default to log in the Common Log Format. All information
is logged to four log files. These files are the access_log, agent_log,
referer_log, and the error_log.
Logged in the files
above is the volume of activity at each page on your web site, the type of browser
used to access each page, any errors that users may have experienced downloading
pages from your site, and where users were referred from when they accessed
pages at your site.
Log File Analysis
Programs
The actual data
logged in the web server log files is cryptic, to say the least. To make sense
of it, you will probably want to use a Web
Log Analyzer to process and analyze it for you. Fortunately there
are numerous programs that will do just that.
Log File Configuration
and Management
You are free to
configure and manage your
Virtual Server
web server log files however you like.
