The servers of Antagonist keep detailed logbooks on the usage and possible errors within your website. You can view these within DirectAdmin. If there is an error, an analysis of the logbooks is valuable to find the cause and the solution.
Viewing the logbooks
- Log into DirectAdmin.
- Go to 'System Info & Files' and then to 'Site Summary / Statistics / Logs'.
3. Under the column 'Logs', you can choose which logs you would like to see.
For the error log, you can click 'Error Log'. There, you can choose if you want to see the full logbook or just the last few lines. For the usage log, click 'Usage Log'.
Error Log
The error log is convenient when you are programming Perl-scripts. Errors generated by such scripts are placed there. PHP-programmers often do not need to take a look at the Error log; any errors of these scripts are displayed directly in the browser. Some other scripts still write to this error log.
Usage Log
The usage logs contains all requests to the server. That way, you can view which requests triggers multiple sources. You can use this data for analytical purposes.
