Hello,

I recently moved my web site to a host that uses cPanel. I like most of the cPanel features but the logs are awful. I need access to my error logs and that feature doesn't seem to work. I'm trying to work out some script problems and all I know is that I'm getting 500 errors, I need the details but they're not available to me.

Also, the raw logs are kept for a full month in one file - then a new file is started. So I lose whatever happened between my last download and the start of a new file. Last month's log file got way too big, downloading and opening was quite time consuiming. I need daily logs.

Are all cPanel plans like this?

Thanks for any insight, I'm having an awful time.

You may want to consider contacting your provider.

I did - nearly four hours ago. I'm still waiting for an answer, but this will probably happen again and I'll be in the same situation - looking at 500 errors without the details that I need. I'm wondering if I should start looking for a new host and if I do, should I eliminate from consideration all who use cPanel.
