I know you can do /var/logs but I don’t know what to do, how do I read the files, because my website is refusing to connect even though I have dns and everything else configured correctly so how do I view my logs as it could be the droplet rejecting my request?

Hi there,
To view the last entries of your logs you can use the
tail
command.So for example, if you have an Apache service you can view the last 100 lines of the Apache error log with the following command:
You can also use the
ls
command to view all of the log files inside the/var/log
folder:Then you can choose which log file exactly you would like to check.
Hope that this helps. Regards, Bobby
