An error log is an in depth report of the warnings and error messages that visitors came across while they were browsing your site. This is the raw info that the server has accumulated and it could help you find potential issues with your Internet site and handle them in a timely manner, in order to improve the site’s functionality and to increase the users’ full satisfaction. You will find many things within an error log - the time when the error appeared, the specific path to the file which the site visitor couldn't access, the IP address the request came from, and the reason why this request could not be processed. There are lots of reasons for your visitors to see an error message - a link which leads to a non-existent file, a script webpage that can't be processed in the right way by the server, a site access attempt by a blocked IP address, and many others.

When you log in, you need to go to the Access/Error Logs section and click on the On/Off button for the website that you would like to keep tabs on.
