Raw Access Logs
In my cpanel configuration I have the "Archive logs" option selected, and yet I cannot view yesterday's logs. If I click on the one and only link under "Download Raw Access Logs - Domain" I only see today (Oct 11th). If I click on the .gz file for October 2012, everything is from 9/30 - 10/09, making it impossible for me to help my customer until tomorrow, because yesterday is when they accessed the website. Why is there a gap of a day? Is there any way to view both yesterday's and today's logs? That is pretty normal for me to want to do, vs. having to go back 3 days or more.
The cpanel raw access logs update with the cpanel stats. The stats can take some time to run so you can see a day or 2 delay for them to update. To work around this, you can access through ftp and get the logs through there. Navigate to the home directory > access-logs directory. In there you should see a file similar to ftp.yourdomain.com-ftp_logs. Download it to your local computer and open it with a text editor and what you want should be in there.
