great program! thanks!


it'll display all your logs in real time, and you can use another

anyway i found the problem. but still no solution. when i do this commands

# ls -l
total 8
drwxr-xr-x   2 root     root         4096 May 22  2006 conf
drwxr-xr-x   2 root     root         4096 May 22  2006 conf.d
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root           19 May  7  2006 logs ->
../../var/log/httpd
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root           27 May  7  2006 modules ->
../../usr/lib/httpd/modules
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root           13 May  7  2006 run -> ../../var/run



the symlink of logs modules run are all in red. I can view the folders and
files on those folders in symlink. What causing the problem? my HDD still
have space.

Assuming a normal terminal session, that usually means that the
symlink is broken. It's supposed to be a symlink, but not a broken
one. You can verify this by running 'rpm -V httpd'

It will compare what's on your disk with what the rpm database thinks
is supposed to be on your system. It should be expected that the
config file will have changes, but not the modules symlink. The less
output from rpm -V, the better.
