Apache2 is not logging downloads

I can't seem to locate anywhere in either usr/local/apache/domlogs or /var/log/apache2 - grepping, or otherwise - requests to download .pdf files that are executed via a web link. Does apache2 not log this kind of activity and if it doesn't, how would I start logging such downloads? Thanks.

  Downloads would be a POST request in the domlogs are you not seeing those associated with the link?

  False alarm - they are being logged. Don't know why I couldn't find them in the logs yesterday. While I'm on the subject, why are there two directories, one within the other in /usr/local/apache/domlogs with repeat instances of log files? For example I have domainone.com logs in /usr/local/apache/domlogs/ and domainone.com in /usr/local/apache/domlogs/top-level-domain-directory/ What is the difference between the logs files in these respective directories - they seem to have duplicates of all log files.

  It's the same data, the data in the user folder is what's used if you're storing access logs for stats in the user's home directory.

  Okay. Good to know. Thanks and have a nice day.
