Further to Corona688 who is showing you how to search the entire /var tree for a file called "access_log", this might need a deeper find if the file doesn't turn up easily.

First as user "root":
Code:
find /var/ -type f -xdev -follow -name access_log -print

There is a hint in the project that you must be user "opentech" to process this file, so "su" or "sudo" (if this is Linux) to the right user first before issuing your "tail -300" command. Actually changing user might well be enough to see the file "access_log". Try it out.
