Web Log Analysis: Ep.5 – Searching Web Server Logs using Linux CLI

Looking for some tips to help me get past step 1 (!) of this lab. I have tried to cs into Log-Files/ but nothing is returned, and the same for a cat command. I don't have experience with Linux but want to attempt this lab - maybe even some lab recommendations on how to get to a sufficient level with Linux would help? 

Thanks!!

  • Do the "Linux Command Line" labs, that will get you started.

    I didn't manage to get this one done before I left for my long weekend, but I did do episode 1 to 5 which have helped me at least understand what a error log and a cat is 🐈

        Yes 🤓 when you cd into Log-Files and run ls multiple log files should be listed.

        Is this not the case for you?

  • Nothing is returned?

    Maybe enhance the contrast of your monitor? 😆
