 |
|
I have got the server setup so only i get into the server. The problem i am having is that i want to access the Log that the server logs. I have setup that i can access the dir and also the file but it will not let me access the file for some reason.
Anyone know how i can get it to allow me :?: |

How are you trying to access it?
Whenever I try to access mine with WordPad, it says that it is being used
by another program. But, when I access it with Notepad, it allows me to.
When I turn off Abyss, THEN it will allow me to use WordPad. |

I access the file through Notepad and WordPad fine. Im trying to gain access to the file through the server it's self so when i am not at home i can login and check who has had access to the server and so on. |

You can't access the log remotely. The log file is not in the root directory (htdocs). |

Here is a small step-by-step tutorial to access the log file remotely and to password protect it:
* Open the console
* Select "Server Configuration", press "Advanced...", then select "Aliases".
* Press "Add..." in the Aliases table.
* Enter "/log" in the virtual path field (without the " " of course) and
"log" in the real path field (alternatively, you can enter the full path
such as "c:\program files\abyss web server\log" if you have changed the
Server Root parameter).
* Press "OK"
* Now select "Users & Groups" and press "Add..." in the users table. Enter
"john" for example in the "User name" field and enter a chosen password in
the next 2 fields. Press "OK".
* Press "OK" one more time in the next screen.
* Select "Access control"
* Press "Add..." in the "Access control" table.
* Enter "/log" in the "Virtual Path" field. Enter "Log directory" in the
"Realm" field and check "john" in the "Allow access to" table. Press "OK".
* Press "Restart".
Now open another browser window and browse http://127.0.0.1/log , you'll be asked for your credentials, enter "john" and the password you already selected. Click them on the access.log link to see the contents of the log file.
On other computers, you should browse http://yousite/log .
