cPanel - Metrics - Error Logs
These are text files containing lists of errors that occur during normal operations of your website. Webmasters often use logs to troubleshoot issues. If an error occurs Webmasters will use the log files to try and replicate the issue to determine a solution that would find a fix to the problem. You could also use this tool to detect suspicious activity, such as a possible virus infection or an unauthorized access attempt.
How to View the Error Logs in cPanel
This feature displays up to 300 of the most recent entries in Apaches error logs for your web pages, in reverse chronological order.
For further information see cPanels Documentation Page
Error details
The interface includes entries in the
/usr/local/apache/logs/suexec_log file
And
/usr/local/apache/logs/error_log file
The interface displays error log entries from the user’s home directory. The interface also displays /usr/local/apache/logs/suexec_log file entries that include the username for the account.
The interface scans the most recent 2 MB in each log file. If the server is extremely busy, the portion of the log file that the interface scans may not contain any errors for this site.
To view older entries, access the individual log files.
The Apache log file records all the requests that Apache handles. Tasks that other services handle may have separate log locations.
