How to find if anyone accessed a specific file on my webserver using the apache log or anything else

  • 772

I'm running apache in a lamp configuration. Recently I had some sensitive files available because of a mix up in the options -Indexes in my HTacess.

Now I want to find out if anyone accessed those files in the time they were up.

Where would I go to find such information?

The server has WHM and cpanel installed and I have full access to it.

apache-2.2 log-files

    It your apache is configured to write access.log, you can "grep" it to find strings, containing requests to these files.

    grep "your.file" /var/log/apache2/access.log

    Of course, use your own path to access.log.
