The location of your Apache webserver logs is something I can't tell you.
Maybe /var/log/apache?  Maybe /usr/local/apache2/logs?  I'm really not sure.

Some newer versions of Apache require a bit more configuration than what the
referenced article tells you.  For example, on my system, I need to have
this in httpd.conf to allow browsing access to ViewVC:

<Directory /usr/local/viewvc-1.2-dev>
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

I would suggest reading through the INSTALL file that ships in the top-most
directory of the ViewVC tarball and checking your installation procedure
against what it recommended therein.  Maybe you missed a step?
