raw apache logs

I was trying to install awstats on my new DA account, and ran into a snag. I was unable to find the directory which contained the raw apache logs. The only way to reach them was through the control panel, which wouldn't do me and awstats any good. So I inquired at the DA forum (http://www.directadmin.com/forum) and received the following.


The apache logs are stored in:

/var/log/httpd/domains/domain.com.log
/var/log/httpd/domains/domain.com.error.log

You *might* have permission to view them (no gurantees), but that would be the easiest solution.

I'm not figuring we have any sort of permission to view this directory, but would there be any chance? I would assume a sym link would be set up, but I have no idea about the permissions issues that may arise. (of course, now looking again at the quote, I see that all log files for the server are in the same directory, this seems like it makes things more difficult)

they're working on a release for awstats, and revising the logfile issue... we hope they'll have this cleared up shortly.

Until then, we can only wait.

yeah, it seems like the log files should be available in the users directories. hopefully this arrives soon, of course when it does, you will probably install awstats server wide and make the issue moot for me...but i'm not complaining. :)

The mail files too! It would be nice to play with your own raw mail, in order to fubar around the webmail 20 meg limit (yes, i am a packrat email loser that has a 14 meg mail file) Isn;t there a jailed ssh or jailed file view like in ensim?

:oops: ok, so I know there is no jailed ssh or file view, but i figured I'd ask, just to show that there is an interest ;)
