7.4 Viewing Oracle HTTP Server Logs

You can search, view, and list Oracle HTTP Server log files using Fusion Middleware Control, or you can download a log file to your local client and view the log files using another tool. You can also use the text editor of your choice to view Oracle HTTP Server log files directly from the ORACLE_INSTANCE directory. By default, Oracle HTTP Server log files for are located in the ORACLE_INSTANCEdiagnosticslogsOHSohs_ name directory. As discussed in Section 7.1, Introducing Server Logs , there are mainly two types of log files for Oracle HTTP Server: error logs and access logs. The error log file is an important source of information for maintaining a well-performing server. The error log records all of the information about problem situations so that the system administrator can easily diagnose and fix the problems. The access log file contains basic information about every HTTP transaction that the server handles. This information can be used to generate statistical reports about the servers usage patterns.
