suggest how to track the log files

I'm new to linux and have successfully installed ISPconfig on Centos 5.1 using this tutorial: http://www.howtoforge.com/centos-5.1-server-lamp-email-dns-ftp-ispconfig

I have all default services running, I thank everyone who help me on this forum to solve my server problems.

1.How can I monitor my server log files without having to use WinSCP to download and view them one by one ?

2.I would be thankful if you could list all default log file paths that should be tracked too.

 

You will find the log files within subdirectories within /var/log.
If you want to see the maillog for example execute the command:

tail -f /var/log/mail.log

For Apache2:
tail -f /var/log/apache2/error.log
or
tail -f /var/log/apache2/access.log

And so on.



CTRL+C cancels your session.

 

I use Centos 5.1 and there is no folder /var/log/apache2
Do I neet to look in /var/log/httpd instead?
