An error log is a list of the error messages and warnings that showed up for one reason or another while your visitors were browsing your website. Such a log provides raw info on the way the hosting server has dealt with requests in various situations. An error message might appear if, for instance, a link leads to a page or a file that is not on the hosting server, if the code on a given page can't be processed, if anyone is trying to access the site or its back office using an IP address that's blocked by an .htaccess rule and so forth. The data inside the error log includes the IP address of the visitor, what error message displayed and the basis for the web server to display it, the whole path to the file which induced the error and the precise time of the event. Having this info will enable you to figure out if any part of your site has an issue, that you can then deal with. As a result, your website visitors will have a better experience and you will optimize the Internet site for maximum performance.
Error Log Viewer in Web Hosting
The Hepsia CP, which comes with our web hosting accounts, will make it quite simple to generate and check out an error log for any site that you have in your account. After you log in, you have to check out the Access/Error Logs section and click on the On/Off button for the Internet site that you want to monitor. The button is available for each and every domain you have hosted and each subdomain that you have set up, so you can get an in depth log for each of them independently, so as to be able to examine the websites for problems a lot easier. A second click on the same button will deactivate the function, but you'll still be able to get the log by clicking on the Download link, that's available in the very same section. When required, you can use software on your computer to process the raw server data for statistical purposes.
