Apache Error Logs



Common Errors:

  • File does not exist: home/website/public_html/gallery/pic.jpg

The file is in the wrong location or doesn't exist. Ensure your files are in the correct location.

  • (13)Permission denied: file permissions deny server access: /home/sumuser/public_html/index.html

This is a common 403 error. Check our article on permissions.

  • error: file is writeable by others: (/home/what/public_html/index.php)

This is a common 500 error. Check our article on Internal Server Errors.

  • error: file has no execute permission: (/home/what/public_html/cgi-bin/img2text.cgi)

This is a permissions issue, you can solve this by adding 755, executable permissions to the file. Check our article on permissions.

  • perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration

There is something wrong with the .htaccess file. There may be a php_flag line that needs to be deleted or commented out.

  • Premature end of script headers: /home/what/public_html/cgi-bin/index.pl

This may be a perl script that needs its first line to read "#!/usr/bin/perl -w".


Unimportant Errors

  • File does not exist: home/what/public_html/robots.txt
  • File does not exist: home/what/public_html/favicon.ico
  • File does not exist: home/what/public_html/500.shtml

All of these files are optional and not necessary. Robots.txt tells search engines and robots whether they should track your page or not. A favicon.ico would be an icon associated with your domain in browsers. 500.shtml is used for custom error messages.
