RE: [cobalt-users] Editing httpd.conf

["Paul Alcock" <webmgr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Chris, forgive my ignorance, I'm curious about the two commands you
mentioned.
rm access removes the access file, correct?
I've never used the touch function so I read up on it.
My books state that it is used to change the last accessed and created time
to the current time.
but if the file was rm'd, then what does 'touch access' achieve?
And where will those logs be found?

Thanks.
Paul
