The correct option is the one that shows an error message generated by the Apache server. This log entry includes the date and time, the type of error, and a description of the error. The other options either show entries related to specific HTTP requests or potential security issues but do not represent an Apache error log.
Among the provided options, the Apache error log is: B. [Wed Oct 11 14:32:52 2000] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] client denied by server configuration: /export/home/live/ap/htdocs/test This entry indicates an error message generated by the Apache server, showing the date and time, the error type, and a description of the error. Here’s a brief overview of the options: A. This entry appears to be a log showing an attempted directory traversal attack, which is not an error log but rather a potential security issue. C. This entry shows an access log format, indicating a successful request and response details, not an error. D. This entry also appears to be an access log format, not an error log, as it does not contain an error message but rather a successful request.
I had trouble with this question. I think the questions focusses on you differentiating between the error and access log of Apache. B is indeed the error log.
