An error log is an in depth report of the warnings and error messages that visitors encountered as they were browsing your website. This is the raw data that the server has produced and it will help you find potential problems with your website and solve them in a timely manner, as a way to enhance the site’s functionality and to add to the users’ total satisfaction. You can find several things in an error log - the time when the error showed up, the actual path to the file the website visitor could not access, the IP address the request came from, and the reason this request could not be processed. There are various reasons for your website visitors to see an error message - a link that leads to a non-existent file, a script site that can't be processed properly by the web server, a site access attempt by a blocked IP address, and many others.

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 want to keep track of. The button is available for every domain name you have hosted and each subdomain which you have created, so you can get an in depth log for each of them independently, so that you can be able to check the websites for problems easier. A second click on the exact same button will disable the function, but you shall still be able to get the log by clicking on the Download link, that is available within the very same section.

Error Log Viewer in Semi-dedicated Servers

The error log generation is a feature that can be enabled with a click with each of the semi-dedicated server plans which we offer you. This can be done via the Access/Error Logs section of the custom Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which we shall give you to manage your account. After you navigate there, you will see every single domain name and subdomain which you have hosted/created within the account listed in alphabetical order. Enabling the error logs may be performed separately for each one of them by pressing the On button, which is situated on the right-hand side. By clicking on the Off button, you'll turn off the log generation if, for example, you have fixed the problems on the site or you have relocated it somewhere else. Also you can download any of the logs with only a click and if you have the necessary software on your computer, you'll be able to process them and get easy-to-read graphs and charts which will allow you to spot the most common issues on the site.
