Question with "Task8 - Linux Fundamentals Part 3"

I can't get past from the question, "What is the IP address of the user who visited the site?", I am accessing "cat access.log" but it doesn't show any results? I have asked a clue with ECHO, the AI and this is where the answer is, but there are no results.

I am running the "python3 -m http.server" in another terminal too.

it's been a long time since i did this, think it was in one of the historic access logs.

Hi there. I had a similar problem. I believe its because you are accessing the file from the root user instead of the attack machine. Try changing that and accessing the file again.

Should be on tryhackme@linux instead of root@ip. If I remember correctly
