WEB SERVER LOG FILES FOR JULY
-----------------------------
Our Web server writes four log files in the /carl/httpd/logs directory:
access_log, agent_log, error_log, and referer_log.  Some of you who have
your own Web pages use these logs for statistical purposes.
 
At one minute past Midnight on the first day of every month new log files
are started and the log files for the previous month are renamed
access_log.0, agent_log.0, error_log.0, and referer_log.0.  This is done
automatically by a script run as a "cron" job.
 
Last night something went wrong when the script executed.  The new log
files for August were created, but July's access_log was not renamed
access_log.0 as it should have been.  Instead, the new access_log
overwrote the old access_log, so July's access_log no longer exists. 
 
Unfortunately access_log is the log file most often used for statistical
purposes.  We apologize to those of you who had not yet compiled your July
statistics, but July's access_log is not retrievable.
