How to check the access.log
To view logs for these server errors, check the access.log
on the web server, e.g., <ip address> <timestamp> <request uri> <response code> <referer url>
To check related logs:
- Run the following command in the CLI if it is on the current day (for Pro). Or up to a certain point in the past (for Starter), since the duration of the logs' coverage is limited, and log rotation is not available:
grep -r "\" [50[0-9]" /path/to/access.log
If the error has occurred in the past run the following command in the CLI (Pro only):zgrep "\" 50[0-9]" /path/to/access.log.<rotation ID>.gz
- Then check the
exception.log
anderror.log
or the equivalent rotated log (logs that are automatically rotated and compressed when they reach a certain file size) for the same timestamp to locate the potential error and see what might have been occurring to have caused it.
Note: To check theexception.log
anderror.log
run the above commands in the CLI but replaceaccess.log
withexception.log
orerror.log
