Check Your Error Log

August 28th, 2009 by Jon Waraas

This is a blog post to remind all of you that don’t currently have a error log page set up to do so ASAP! My error log is the first thing I check in the mornings, when I first wake up I check my error logs (all 10 of them) and see if there has been any new errors, if there are errors I fix them.

Correcting your errors is very important to keep your website well maintained and on the right track for success (duh). If you have multiple websites like I do I highly suggest setting up some kinda of way to track your errors. I have it set up so all my errors go into one logs folder were I have like 25 different txt files with the errors in them, you can use the code below on your .htaccess file.

# enable PHP error logging

php_flag log_errors on

php_value error_log /home/your_folder/public_html/logs/your_website_errors.log

Again, if you have multiple websites and you are not currently tracking your errors then I highly suggest you spend the 10 minutes it will take you to set it up, it will be well worth it in the long run.

Follow me on my journey of success and failures, it should be a fun ride.... Again, here is the link for the RSS feed.
