Is this a web server? If so what kind of server, ie Apache or IIs?

KearseFreak from Nashville, I wonder where that name came from. No doubt a Titans fan. They should have a good team this year if everyone stays healthy.

The log files in Apache could be anywhere. Look in .../apache_directory/conf/httpd.conf . The location of your log files will be specified via entries called
Error Log & TransferLog. If you are using VirtualHost in Apache, you can also have a different location for your log file.
The default location is .../apache_directory/logs/. You should have an error log and an access log.

You can also grep them into your public directory through telnet
