An error log is an in depth report of the warnings and error messages which visitors came across when they were looking through your Internet site. This is the raw info that the server has generated and it may help you discover potential problems with your website and fix them in a timely manner, in order to improve the site’s functionality and to increase the users’ total satisfaction. You can discover a number of things in an error log - the time when the error showed up, the specific path to the file the visitor couldn't access, the IP address the request came from, and the reason this request couldn't be processed. There are various reasons for your site visitors to see an error message - a link which leads to a non-existent file, a script website that cannot be processed correctly by the hosting server, a site access attempt by a blocked IP address, and many others.

Error Log Viewer in Shared Hosting

The Hepsia CP, which comes with our shared hosting accounts, will make it really easy to generate and view an error log for any site that you have inside your account. Once you log in, you will need to navigate to the Access/Error Logs section and click on the On/Off button for the website that you intend to keep tabs on. The button is available for every domain name which you have hosted and every subdomain you have created, so you can get a detailed log for each of them individually, so that you can be able to check the sites for problems a lot easier. A second click on the same button will disable the feature, but you will still be able to get the log by clicking on the Download link, that is available inside the exact same section. If needed, you can use software on your PC to process the raw server data for statistical purposes.
