Error Logs on cPanel

[ronturon]

I'd like to request, if possible, to access Error Logs on the cPanel.

I saw my Resource Usage stats and it maxes sometimes. I'd like to know what errors could occur when it happens. I am running a Wordpress site with only one plugin activated, the W3 Total Cache plugin (with only Page and Browser cache activated; and Object and DB cache disabled (I read somewhere that those two uses a lot of resource)). I am trying to build a site and monitor stats and usage as I build on it bit by bit.

Thank you.

Make it look like something like this...

Of course, press the save button after.

Hello @caftpx10, I set the settings as per your screencap but where do I access the error logs? I

The error_log file will be located where a script would get a PHP error.
So, if a script from /index.php gets an error, it would be located in /error_log (document root-wise). And if one gets an error in /directory/file.php then the error_log file would be at /directory/error_log

@caftpx10, I was thinking more of an Error Log like this one:

I know very little PHP and was hoping I could teach myself to solve errors when I see them popup.

Also, Should I set my PHP settings back from when it used to?

That error log is for Apache errors, not PHP.

Fun fact: By default, display_errors and error_log are disabled in PHP. In a comment in php.ini, it says not to enable display_errors in a production environment, only development.

I learn new things everyday. Thank you for the replies. I changed it back to these settings. I noted them before I copied yours.

Now if I could ask an Admin or Tech if they could enable Apache Error Logs.
