where is the log file?

[zhxn]

I suppose the webtrends just analyze the log file and present it in a friendly manner. But where is the original log file located? on my web server, or somewhere else, such as my ISP's server? (I am using cable.)

Could anyone answer my silly question? I am new on this topic and I couldn't find any search function of this forum.

It should be on your web server, and can be reached by ftp. Just look for a folder saying "logs", open it, look at all the files, then dl whatever you want to your computer. They might be zipped. After that, you can look at them as a .txt file in Wordpad, or analyze them with one of many programs.

At the top of the page where it says "site search".

I using SSH Seure Shell, where can I get the log file?

Try: cd /www cd /logs, and look in there. It might be "access_log".
