You can't even get to where they are stored without a root level access.  |  IP: Logged Peter Provorov Film Handler Posts: 23 From: UL, Moscow/ Russian Federation Registered: Aug 2014 posted 04-28-2015 08:34 PM                     Thanks Steve, I know, i can check log on server (Login as root), but I don't know how can check it ?  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

Logs are not designed with easy user formats. They are whatever the programmer thought was important to have and pretty much raw things. That said, one can get used to reading them...particularly if you know what you are looking for on a particular server.  |  IP: Logged Dave Macaulay Film God Posts: 2321 From: Toronto, Canada Registered: Apr 2001 posted 04-29-2015 11:56 AM                     Using a reader that displays them sensibly is important. Windows Notepad is horrible. The freeware "Notepad++" is excellent.  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

Getting the xmltools plugin can be handy if the file you are looking at doesn't wrap the way you would expect of an XML file.  |  IP: Logged Peter Provorov Film Handler Posts: 23 From: UL, Moscow/ Russian Federation Registered: Aug 2014 posted 05-01-2015 08:50 PM                     Thanks Steve and Dave. I'm finding out how extract files logs without having to check directly on the server. The freeware "Notepad++" is excellent.  |  IP: Logged
