An error log is a listing of the error messages and warnings which appeared for one reason or another while your visitors were surfing around your website. This sort of a log includes raw info about the way the web server has dealt with requests in different situations. An error message may appear if, for example, a link leads to a webpage or a file that is not on the web server, if the code on a given page cannot be processed, if anyone is trying to access the website or its back office through an IP address which is blocked by an .htaccess rule and many others. The data in the error log offers the IP address of the website visitor, what error message came out and the basis for the server to display it, the whole path to the file that induced the error and the specific time of the event. Having this info will permit you to find out if any part of your Internet site has a problem, that you can then clear up. For that reason, your website visitors will have a better experience and you will optimize the website for maximum performance.

Error Log Viewer in Shared Website Hosting

The Hepsia CP, offered with our shared website hosting accounts, will make it really easy to generate and look at an error log for any Internet site that you have within your account. Once you log in, you need to navigate to the Access/Error Logs section and click on the On/Off button for the Internet site that you intend to keep tabs on. The button is available for each and every domain name which you have hosted and every subdomain that you have created, so you can get a detailed log for each and every one of them separately, so that you can be able to examine the sites for problems easier. A second click on the same button will turn off the feature, but you'll still be able to get the log by clicking on the Download link, which is available within the exact same section. If required, you can use software on your computer system to process the raw hosting server info for statistical purposes.
