Hi can you please please please open your console program and command click the title bar and locate where the console.log file lives . Please . If you can not do that. Please use tinker tool to show all hidden files then do a search for the console.log file.
I somehow have destoryed mmy console file and can not restore it . I really really need it back. Please help me with this. I am at root but I have no idea where the file used to live. And droping it in the same folder as system.log does not work.
AW!!!!! I am losingf my mind. Please help.

Nasrudin sat on a river bank when someone shouted to him from the opposite side: "Hey! how do I get across?" "You are across!" Nasrudin shouted back.

OR ! the file code is wrong as I copyed a system log file and blanked it then renamed it. So I need to find out how it works . OY! this is confusing meeeee

I am having difficulty in understanding exactly what the problem is here. Console will create a log file every time the computer starts up doesn't it? If you do not have a good copy of the console program, why not just re-install the base system from your install CDs? Or use Pacfist to install the base system from those CDs?

Could you try to launch the Console and see if any errors show up in the cons...
oh wait...
Could you launch the Console in the Terminal by typing this:
/Applications/Utilities/Console.app/Contents/MacOS/Console
and see if it displays any errors?
