 How do I clear my logs?

 
Answer
 

Your http web server is set up to log all transactions to disk files. These log files contain useful information about who is accessing your site and what information they are looking at. On a heavily accessed site the files will grow rapidly in size and consume your available disk space. This selection will clear the log files and reset them back to 0 length.
(Note: This function will not work if you have manually changed your WWW server logs from the default. Also, this will NOT reset your virtual hosts log files. If you need to do so, review the link below.)

  1. From the Control Panel, find the "Manage Web Server" drop down box.
  2. Select the "Clear server logfiles" option and click "GO".
  3. Clicking the Reset the logfiles button will clear all the standard log files.
  4. This will also reset your .bash_history file, which is used to log your telnet commands. This file is in the root directory of your server.
