Apache Logs?

[Platypus]

Not unconnected with my other thread. I have a client website hosted with easyspace. I can't find any log files, so I'm assuming that perhaps they are switched off. I'd like to see the logs so I can try to debug my other problem

I added this into .htaccess
CustomLog logs/access_log "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b"

Now I get this with each website access:

Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, support@iomart.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.


So my numpty question is: what did I do wrong?

EDIT: so I realised that I need an absolute path but I still get the error. And I also tried the ErrorLog directive. Same result as above.
ErrorLog /vhost/vhost9/s/o/u/example.com/logs/error_log

Don't the directives go into httpd.conf?

Yes, but when you're hosted, you can't access httpd.conf

So part of my question was absolutely, can these work in .htaccess?

I dont think its possible in .htaccess

mod_log_config - Apache HTTP Server Version 2.4

Thanks, Nick, I can view stats but there are no log files to see.
