Apache Folder
The Apache web server handles every incoming request and forwards them to the database
server. The Apache folder includes important logs from the Apache process.
n
New log entries are appended to the log files, which makes them grow over time. The log files are
not deleted automatically. This must be done manually, if required.
error.log
This log file contains error messages and notices. An entry is received, for example, if a
connection to the TCP/COM bridge failed. An entry is also created when a client logged in or
logged off. The entries in this case look similar to the following:
[Thu Mar 14 18:24:07 2002] [notice] logon request received, session
'bad5781de4bd712b8bf49c7376de3cd4:1016126647' created
[Thu Mar 14 18:43:45 2002] [notice] logoff request for session
'bad5781de4bd712b8bf49c7376de3cd4:1016126647' received
A logon entry is always created when a client logs on, while a logoff entry is only created if the
client performs a clean logout. No logoff entry is created if, for example, the network connection
is interrupted.
access.log
The access.log file contains a log of every incoming request similar to the following:
192.168.1.199 - - [22/Jan/2002:21:11:49 +0100] "POST /nxn/workgroup/http
HTTP/1.1" 200 172
