An error log is a list of the error messages and warnings that appeared for one reason or another while your visitors were browsing your site. This type of a log contains raw information about the way the web server has handled requests in various situations. An error message might appear if, for example, a link leads to a site or a file that isn't on the server, if the code on a particular page cannot be processed, if someone is trying to access the website or its back office via an IP address that's blocked by an .htaccess rule and many others. The info within the error log includes the IP address of the site visitor, what error message showed up and the basis for the web server to show it, the full path to the file which generated the error and the exact time of the event. Having this data will help you determine if any part of your Internet site has a problem, that you can then fix. As a result, your visitors will have a better experience and you will optimize the website for maximum performance.

Error Log Viewer in Website Hosting

The Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with our website hosting accounts, shall make it very simple to generate and look at an error log for any website that you have within your account. When you log in, you will need to go to the Access/Error Logs section and click on the On/Off button for the Internet site that you want to keep an eye on. The button is available for every domain which you have hosted and every subdomain which you have created, so you can get a comprehensive log for each and every one of them individually, as a way to be able to check out the websites for problems easier. A second click on the same exact button will turn off the function, but you will still be able to get the log by clicking on the Download link, that's available inside the exact same section. If needed, you can use software on your computer to process the raw server data for statistical purposes.

Error Log Viewer in Semi-dedicated Hosting

The error log generation is a function that can be switched on with a mouse click with any of the semi-dedicated server packages that we supply. You can do this through the Access/Error Logs section of the in-house built Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which we will give you to manage your account. Once you navigate there, you'll see every single domain and subdomain that you have hosted/created within the account listed in alphabetical order. Switching on the error logs may be performed independently for every one of them by clicking on the On button, that is situated on the right-hand side. By simply clicking on the Off button, you can deactivate the log generation if, for example, you have resolved the issues on the website or you have moved it somewhere else. Also you can download any of the logs with simply a mouse click and if you have the necessary software on your laptop, you'll be able to process them and get easy-to-read graphs and charts which will help you spot the most common issues on the website.
