Does anyone know a quick way to access the server log file? I'm hosting a web site using the built-in Apache web server that came with OS X. This is for a graduate class project.

They could be almost anywhere. You need to find the httpd.conf file... in that file is defined where the log file is kept. Just do "locate httpd.conf" as a command in a terminal. The usual name for the acccess log file is "access_log". You could do "locate access_log". Mine are in:

/System/Library/RemoteAdminServer/Logs/access_log
/System/Library/RemoteAdminServer/Logs/error_log

There are many tools for processing the log files. Take a look on http://freshmeat.net for lots of free tools for condensing the logfiles in to something useful.

Other handy thing is to run:

"tail -f /System/Library/RemoteAdminServer/Logs/access_log"

when you want to troubleshoot.
