Mail and Web logs location

Linode Staff

Where do I find my maillogs and httpd? I made a change to my contact-form mail function (updated the to address), but am not delivering mail to the new address. Looking for ways to troubleshoot.

Hello,

The logs for your mailer are going to be stored under /var/log. If you're running a local mail server configuration, you may find the following guide helpful in finding those logs and enabling additional logging:

Checking the mail logs

For httpd the best place to check for Apache errors is the Apache error logs. To view the error logs, we recommend using the tail command with the -f flag, which shows you the most recent part of the log live as it’s updated. Example:

tail -f /var/log/apache2/error.log

For further information on httpd logs I recommend checking out the below guide:
