I'm getting into my server into the right directory just fine (as su).
cd /var/log/httpd
When I ls, I get:
access_log error_log
However, when I try cd /error_log or cd error_log, I get bash: cd: /error_log: No such file or directory or bash: cd: error_log: Not a directory.
I want to simply view the last 50 or so errors (from PHP file), but not sure how to get to it. I know I need something like tail -n 300 error_log-20130602 | more, but I don't know the log file name.
The logfile name is /var/log/httpd/access_log and /var/log/httpd/error_log with no file extension or date.
That's why you get the error message
bash: cd: error_log: Not a directory.
It's a file
tail or head or more will work on it just fine
last 50 errors should be in the error_log
