Apache Error Log File Path in Cpanel
Apache is the web server that is typically utilized by cPanel. On cPanel servers Apache does write to a rather high number of logs as each site has its own traffic log.
- /etc/httpd/logs/error_log : Apache General Error and Auditing Logs:
- /usr/local/apache/logs/error_log : All exceptions caught by httpd, along with standard error output from CGI applications are logged here. The first place you should look when httpd crashes, or you incur errors when accessing a website.
- /usr/local/apache/logs/suexec_log : Contains auditing information reported by suexec each time a CGI application is executed. If you receive an internal server error, with no relevant information being reported to the Apache error_log, check here for potential suexec policy violations.
- /usr/local/apache/logs/access_log : The access_log is used to log all http requests to ether the hostname of the server, requests directed at the servers IPs, or sites that resolve to the server but are no longer hosted on it.
- /usr/local/apache/domlogs/domainname_log : domlogs folder each site on the server will have its own log file. These files will be the fully qualified domain name for the domain, ie domain.com, liquidweb.com. All http traffic to a site will be logged in this log file.
