The cPanel Error feature displays up to 300 of the most recent entries in Apaches error logs for your web pages, in reverse chronological order.
Error Logs are text files containing lists of errors that occur during normal operations of your website. Webmasters often use logs to troubleshoot issues. If an error occurs Webmasters will use the log files to try and replicate the issue to determine a solution that would find a fix to the problem. You could also use this tool to detect suspicious activity, such as a possible virus infection or an unauthorized access attempt.
