Locations of Common Log Files on cPanel Servers
Apache Apache is the web server that is typically utilized by cPanel. On cPanel servers Apache does write to a rather high number of logs as each site has its own traffic log. The access_log is used to log all http requests to ether the hostname of the server, requests directed at the servers IPs, or sites that resolve to the server but are no longer hosted on it. On cPanel servers all Apache errors, regardless of site, are logged in the error_log.
