access_log

Post by Nejat » Thu Aug 04, 2011 6:55 pm

I cannot access my web site and Joomla admin panel for 24 hours.
However, when i look into access_log file i realised that this file is working continuously and the title of my articles are on this file's lines. What is this? What does access_log file record if my site and Joomla panel is not working?
Any idea?

have a look through your error log for the first occourance of the http 500 code that will highlight your possible issue area. (clue - look for the 88. IP address)

run the checklist called "before you post read this" which is a sticky at the top of the forum
