If you just want to know how many people are taking stuff off your web
site RIGHT THIS SECOND, then http://<domain>/server-status will do. 
If you need to see if from somewhere other than localhost, you have to
enable it in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

Webalizer is pretty good for parsing yesterday's logs and giving you
some useful information.  It's on the Fedora Core 3 CDs.  It's pretty
simple, I just installed it, put my own domain name in "HostName" in
/etc/webalizer.conf, and now can see the results at
http://<domain>/usage/

Personally, I like to have a window open doing a "tail -F
/var/log/http/access_log /var/log/maillog /var/log/xferlog
/var/log/messages" all the time I'm at a computer, but I suspect
that's just me.
