Is there anyway you can put a log viewer in the DA control panel?
I think a feature like that would go over well. Lots of us non coders may be able to fix problems if we could check the logs... but we can't find them... :)

So if there was a link in admin panel... you could say.....

view the email log...

Is that possible?

this would be nice for sure.

however it is quite easy to check your logs.

here are a few tips:

ssh into your server, su - to root

wanna watch your mail log in real time?

tail -f /var/log/exim/mainlog

(ctrl -c to get out)

same thing for any other log file.

to look a users domain

tail -f /var/log/httpd/domains/domain.com.log

or search for an email address

cat /var/log/exim/mainlog | grep [email protected]

want to watch your pop3 sessions/connections ?

tail -f /var/log/maillog
 
Am I missing something here? DA already has logs for email/apache/directadmin and few other things.
 
For the admin, yes, but not for resellers and users.

Those folks have a need to check various logs from their cp, specially those without SSH access.
 
There is also a 3rd party log viewer plugin, although I'm not sure if it implements the same thing for admin level or does have capability for individual reseller and user level logs beyond http.

I would think it would be a simple matter of just parsing the last few bits of the needed logs searching for entries belonging to the username in question.
 
The default DA user log viewer is Apache only and fills the entire page instead of using a nice textarea like in the admin version.

The 3rd party plugin doesn't work on FreeBSD.
 
Right I see what you mean now, yeah users currently canno see mail errors, and cgi suexec errors as well as problems caused accessing site via ip/~name
