Does the access log file have you confused? What about the error log? The training in this area we hope will help you decrypt these two log files. Knowing where your visitors are coming from, what they are look at and where they go on your web site is important. After all, you do what people to visit your site right?
The log files provide a lot of detailed information. Sometimes this information can seem cryptic. We hope the training in this area will help. Feel free to contact us with any questions you might have, with our training or your log file.
Access Log File
The access log will tell you where visitors go on your site and how they found your site in the first place. This information can help you see which pages on your web site people are finding.
Error Log File
The error log will tell you of any issue visitors might be finding on your site. This can include links from other site to your site, to pages which either no longer exist or have been moved. These are referred to as 404 errors, page not found. This information is useful to you, so you can create a 301 redirect, either to the new location or perhaps the main page of your site, to avoid those dreaded 404 errors.
