The basic issue is that your files need to be accessible either as a web resource or by a web resource. Lets look at the webserver part. Most likely, your web/appserver logs are going to be stored in a directory that will not map to a url, therefor, you will either need to move the log to the server's docroot, or you will need to create some other resource that can act as a proxy and read the file and write it to the browser. This could be as simple as an executable perl script in your cgi-bin that is hardcoded to read and display a given file. What you don't want to do is create a resource that will display the file based on some parameter, such as filename. Do this and you've just poked a hole in your system.
If the database server is a different machine, you have another issue to face in how to provide access to this file from a different machine (ftp, nfs, etc.).
Please provide some more information such as the actual tools you are using and whether or not the appserver and database server are two pysically different machines.
