Oh, lots of places.  You didn't mention what package you were running, but
assuming RedHat 7.x:

less +G /var/log/messages
less +G /var/log/httpd/errors
less +G /var/log/httpd/access

Since you appear to be loosing your network connection, you should probably
try ifconfig to see why, or possibly netstat.
