Actual use of access_log()

Apache server (like other web-server) records all incoming request and all those processed request are kept into a file.The format of the access log is highly configurable. The location and content of the access log are controlled by the CustomLog directive

Debian / Ubuntu Linux Apache access log file location - /var/log/apache2/access.log

(EXTRA)
Server Log(acc.to WIKI) => is a log file automatically created and maintained by a server of activity performed by it. A typical example is a web server log which maintains a history of page requests

Apache: How to solve "The requested URL /.../..../ was not found on this server."

I am working on a Ubuntu 10.04 server, on which I installed PHP 5.3, Apache 2 2.2.9. I followed the below steps to do the installation :

  1. I installed apache2 using SUDO APT-GET INSTALL APACHE2

  2. I also installed libapache2 and php using the below commands
    sudo apt-get install php5 libapache2-mod-php5
    sudo apt-get install php5-core

  3. I did redirection to port by configuring the DEFAULT file in /ETC/APACHE2/SITES-AVAILABLE. Redirection happened successfully.

  4. PHP5-curl was installed using
    SUDO APT-GET INSTALL PHP5-CURL

  5. Rewrite mod was enabled in apache2 using
    SUDO A2ENMOD REWRITE and apache2 was restarted.

Now, after following this if I try to access the URL, I get the following message - 

 THE REQUESTED URL /.../..../ WAS NOT FOUND ON THIS SERVER.

But, the same URL is accessed from another system with the same configuration , it works fine.
