| The first place you should go when trying to debug a problem is the log file for that program. The list of Log Files are as follows: DirectAdmin: /var/log/directadmin/error.log /var/log/directadmin/errortaskq.log /var/log/directadmin/system.log /var/log/directadmin/security.log
/var/log/httpd/error_log /var/log/httpd/access_log /var/log/httpd/suexec_log /var/log/httpd/fpexec_log /var/log/httpd/domains/domain.com.error.log /var/log/httpd/domains/domain.com.log /var/log/messages (generic errors)
/var/log/proftpd/access.log /var/log/proftpd/auth.log /var/log/messages (generic errors)
/var/log/pureftpd.log
/var/log/maillog /var/log/messages
/var/log/messages
/var/log/exim/mainlog /var/log/exim/paniclog /var/log/exim/processlog /var/log/exim/rejectlog (on FreeBSD, they have “exim_” in front of the filenames) /var/lib/mysql/server.hostname.com.err FreeBSD and Debian: /usr/local/mysql/data/server.hostname.com.err
/var/log/cron
less /var/log/filename Where /var/log/filename is the path of the log you wish to view. If the log is too large you can use the “tail” command: tail -n 30 /var/log/filename Where 30 is the number of lines from the end you wish to view. |
