What is Errors
Errors in cPanel is a diagnostic tool that shows the latest errors of your website, such as PHP errors, 404 Not Found, 403 Forbidden or 500 Internal Server Error.
The data comes directly from the server's error logs and is updated in real time, so you can find and fix problems immediately.
What information it shows
The tool shows the most recent errors from the file /usr/local/apache/logs/error_log or the corresponding LiteSpeed log.
Each entry includes:
-
Date and time of the error
-
The page or file where it occurred
-
Description of the error (e.g. PHP Warning, Fatal Error, Missing File)
-
The visitor's IP address (if available)
-
The server response (HTTP status)
How to view Errors in cPanel
