Hi there,


I just noticed I have alot of access_log files with numbers and total theres around 1GB, maybe more. There are also a bunch of files called error_log.#.gz. Can I delete those files?

Thanks for reading

Roger

They are there for you. They are your access and error log backups compressed by gunzip methods and then given an incrementing number, either that or it's a timestamp. You CAN delete them but first go through them, they'll tell you who's visiting, and the error logs will tell you stuff like if a file is missing. For example:
Code:
[Wed Jun 04 22:55:12 2008] [error] [client 208.111.154.15] File does not exist: /home/arenlorc/public_html/404.shtml
[Wed Jun 04 22:55:12 2008] [error] [client 208.111.154.15] File does not exist: /home/arenlorc/public_html/robots.txt
Tells me that I forgot to create a robots.txt for my site and that searchme.com may not have searched my site because of that. Additionally I have not 404 file.
