Where is Error Log in lighttpd?

Question

I'm new to lighttpd, I just switched from Apache. How can I find the error log by SSH ? I've been getting some 500 Internal Server errors I want to troubleshoot.

Answer 1

The location of the error log is in your config file, which is probably located at /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf. Look for the server.errorlog line.

If it's still set to default, the log is probably at /var/log/lighttpd/error.log.
