Can I access my Apache log files?

Shared and Reseller

You can login to cPanel and click the Error Log icon. This contains the last 300 Apache errors triggered by your website.

VPS and Dedicated Server

On a Dedicated Server or VPS without a cPanel installation, most log files would be located in the /var/log/ directory. The Apache log would then be located in the /var/log/httpd/ directory.

However, for all of our servers with cPanel installs, the actual location of the Apache error log is /usr/local/apache/logs/error_log, where “error_log” is simply a plain text file.
