And, you'll also get the characters 404 found in other places. To just see 404 results, you'd want to search for " 404 (including the leading quote followed by a space) so you'll match the 404 response after a URI (which has quotes around it in the usual Apache logs). The simplest way I can think of checking for *recent* 404 errors is to have logs that rotate fairly quickly, and only look through the latest one. Otherwise, you're going to have to parse the dates in the log files. I suppose this all depends on what your needs are. If you just want to fix up the errors, you don't need to be too fancy; and there are error checkers that you can use to crawl through your website to specifically find things like 404 errors. But if you want statistics, you probably want to find some log analyser program. -- (Currently running FC4, occasionally trying FC5.) Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
