[Koha] Viewing logs

[Betsy Law]

...and maybe I should read the whole question: how to view the logs.
The logs are just text files but you may need administrator privileges
to open them.  To look at a log in the terminal, open it with a text
editor.  Here's an example using the text editor nano to open the
koha-error_log file:

nano /var/log/koha/koha-error_log

If you can't access the file, use sudo:

sudo nano /var/log/koha/koha-error_log

Then enter the superuser password.  To see just the last few entries
in the log, you can use the tail command:

tail -f /var/log/koha/koha--error_log

This command, with the -f option, will keep the log file open and
append the newest entries to your display.  Thus, you can dink around
in Koha and see what errors are occurring where.

Probably way more than you needed to know but since I had to learn all
this stuff when I started I thought I'd throw it out there for other
newbies.
