How do I check server logs?

To check server logs, you typically access them through your server's file system. What type of server are you using?

I'm using an Apache server.

For Apache, you can find the logs in the /var/log/apache2/ directory. You can use commands like tail -f access.log to view them in real-time.

What if I want to check error logs?

You can check the error logs in the same directory, usually named error.log. Use tail -f error.log to monitor it live.

Is there a way to filter the logs for specific errors?

Yes, you can use the grep command to filter logs. For example, grep '404' error.log will show all 404 errors.
