The Error Log viewer shows application and web server errors for your domains. You can browse recent entries (with counts by level and top messages) or flip to a live tail of today’s error.log and watch issues unfold in real time.

Who can use this

The signed-in account owner. Only domains under your account are available in the dropdown.

Quick start

1) Pick a Domain and Log file (e.g., today (live) or a previous date).
2) The page loads the latest entries and a quick summary:
  • Total Entries — how many lines were parsed (up to ~10k).
  • Count by Level — error/warn/notice/etc.
  • Top 10 Messages — most frequent error texts.
3) Use the table at the bottom to filter by time, level, or message.

Live tail

Click Start Live View to follow error.log as it grows (updates every 3 seconds). The live area auto-scrolls; toggle the switch to pause the scroll if you want to read older lines. Click Stop Live View to return to the parsed view.

Download

Click Download to save the selected error log to your computer. Rotated logs (error.log-YYYYMMDD.gz) are supported.

What to look for

• PHP fatal errors / uncaught exceptions — usually point to the exact file and line; fix or disable the offending plugin/theme/code.
• Permission/ownership errors — files not writable or missing; check paths and permissions.
• Deprecations/notices — not fatal, but can reveal upcoming breakage when upgrading PHP.
• Repeated identical messages — use the Top 10 list to spot noisy failures or loops quickly.

Tips

• Reproduce the issue in another browser tab while watching the live tail — the new lines should appear instantly.
• Pair with the Access Log Viewer to correlate 5xx responses with error entries at the same timestamp.
• After fixes, refresh the page or switch to today’s log to confirm the errors stopped.

Troubleshooting

• No logs listed: the domain may not have errors yet or logging is disabled; switch date or generate a test error.
• Permission denied on download: make sure you picked a domain you own; only your logs are accessible.
• Times look different: entries are parsed from the log line and normalized to a standard format.
