Article » [How To] Find Where cPanel Logs Are Located
If you have root access to your server and face any issues, the best way to investigate them is to examine logs.
It is really handy to have all these logs stored somewhere and cPanel provides us with such a list here:
http://go.cpanel.net/logposter
Anyway, the huge PDF is hard to read, so you can find all main log locations in the table below.
