How do I find my PHP error log?

Where you’ll find your PHP error log will depend on your server’s setup. In most shared hosts, there is a directory called logs or something similar. If your service provider has a knowledge base, they will typically describe how to find your logs there.

If you’re running your own server, logs will usually be somewhere like /var/log or /var/log/apache.

There are many useful threads in StackOverflow that may help to find your logs. For example: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5127838/where-does-php-store-the-error-log-php5-apache-fastcgi-cpanel
