How do I view my website error logs? Print

cPanel keeps a log of recent server errors for your site:

1. Log in to cPanel.
2. Under Metrics, open Errors. This shows the most recent web server errors (404s, 500s, permission issues, and more).

For application-specific errors, also check:

• PHP error log - often a file named error_log inside public_html or the affected folder (view it in File Manager).
• CMS logs - for example WordPress debug logs in wp-content/debug.log when debugging is enabled.

The cPanel Errors page only keeps the latest entries, so check it soon after a problem occurs. If you cannot tell what is causing repeated 500 errors, copy the relevant log lines and open a ticket so support can help.
