An error log is a detailed report of the warnings and error messages that site visitors encountered while they were browsing your site. This is the raw data that the server has generated and it could help you locate potential problems with your site and resolve them in a timely manner, so as to boost the site’s performance and to increase the users’ satisfaction. You will find a variety of things within an error log - the time when the error appeared, the specific path to the file that the visitor can't access, the IP address the request came from, and the reason why this request could not be processed. There are lots of reasons for your site visitors to see an error message - a link leading to a non-existent file, a script website that cannot be processed correctly by the server, a site access attempt by a blocked IP address, and so forth.
Error Log Viewer in Hosting
The Hepsia CP, included with our hosting accounts, shall make it very easy to generate and check out an error log for any website that you have in your account. After you log in, you need to go to the Access/Error Logs section and click on the On/Off button for the site that you intend to keep track of. The button is available for every domain name that you have hosted and each subdomain that you have created, so you can get a detailed log for every single one of them independently, in order to be able to check the websites for problems much easier. A second click on the exact same button will deactivate the function, but you shall still be able to get the log by clicking on the Download link, that's available in the same section. If needed, you can use software on your personal computer to process the raw hosting server data for statistical purposes.
Error Log Viewer in Semi-dedicated Hosting
The error log generation is a feature that could be enabled with simply a click with any of the semi-dedicated server solutions that we offer. This can be done through the Access/Error Logs section of the custom Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which we shall give you to manage the account. Once you navigate there, you'll see every single domain name and subdomain that you have hosted/created within the account listed in alphabetical order. Initiating the error logs may be done independently for every single one of them by clicking on the On button, that's located on the right-hand side. By simply clicking on the Off button, you will turn off the log generation if, for instance, you've resolved the issues on the website or you have transferred it elsewhere. You can also download every one of the logs with simply a mouse click and if you have the required software on your computer, you could process them and get easy-to-read graphs and charts that'll allow you to spot the most common problems on the Internet site.
