Anyone have any good information on how to read error log files on your server. I am able to access them and view them. But am still trying to figure out exactly what I am looking for.

I was reading in my RedHat 9 book about LogSentry, does anyone have an exp with this and is it worth installing?

Thanks,
Derrick

What sort of error logs? There's plenty, check in /var/log

Specifically, login via SSH and then type:
"pico /var/log/httpd/error_log"
If you are looking for something specific try:
grep 'searchforsomething' /var/log/httpd/error_log
