How to view Apache error log files in Windows?

If you ever wanted to view your Apache Log files from your local computer or Windows Operating System (Xp, Vista, Windows 7) and were unable to do so, this awesome software can do the task for you. You must have noticed the log files are usually very large in size  and won't open in text editors like Notepad causing them to hang.

As the website states "Apache Logs Viewer (ALV) is a free and powerful tool which lets you monitor, view and analyze Apache/IIS logs with more ease. It offers search and filter functionality for the log file, highlighting the various http requests based on their status code. There is also a report facility, thus you can generate a pie/bar chart in seconds. Together with this there are also statistics where you can get the top hits, top errors, number of status codes, total bandwidth and more."

So here are the links:
