I'm making a local server for a database in RPI. I just followed typical tutorials out there to install Apache, MySQL, PHP. Now, I want to make the server to output logs to a tft lcd i have. Basically, whenever something happens (someone accesses the rpi through browser, etc) it will output logs to the lcd.

So far, i made the lcd work and a terminal is shown on the lcd. I'm stuck now how to make the server log to the lcd.

How would i make the server log events to the terminal or to a text file?

Use

tail -f <file>

to output the end of, and follow new writes to, a text file.

You probably want to follow /var/log/apache/access.log (but the location may vary, check https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/38978/where-are-apache-file-access-logs-stored)

So,

tail -f /var/log/apache/access.log

should probably output any new (access) log messages to your terminal.
