Question

How to troubleshoot the website availability via Website Log Check in Plesk?

Answer

Website Log Check scans the web server logs for common issues, shows how often a specific issue occurs, and suggests ways to resolve the issue.

Note: If the page is missing enable it with the steps of the 'To enable Website Log Check' section below.

To access and check the Website Log Check:

1. Log in to Plesk

2. Navigate to:

  • Server-wide:
    Tools & Settings > Website Log Check (under “Assistance and Troubleshooting”)
  • For website:
    Websites & Domains > example.com > Logs

3. Enable Automatic check or Run manual check for specific time period for one or several websites:

To enable Website Log Check:

1. Connect to the server via SSH

2. Open the /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/panel.ini with the file editor or command below:

# plesk conf panel.ini

3. Add the following lines to the panel.ini file and save it:

[websitesDiagnostic]
enabled = true

More information about this feature can be found on the documentation page.

Website Log Check can detect the following issues:

  • PHP-FPM “server reached max_children setting”
  • ModSecurity “Access denied with code 403”
  • PHP “Internal Server error 500: Allowed memory size of XXX exhausted”
  • PHP “open_basedir restriction in effect”
  • Apache .htaccess “403 Forbidden AH01797: client denied by server configuration”
  • Apache “Cannot access a website directory in Plesk: 403 Forbidden”
  • Nginx “Cannot access a website directory in Plesk: 403 Forbidden”
  • Apache .htaccess “403 Forbidden: pcfg_openfile: unable to check htaccess file, ensure it is readable”
  • Nginx “Too many open files”
  • Nginx “502 Bad Gateway: upstream sent too big header while reading response header”
  • Apache “500 Internal Server Error: Option FollowSymLinks not allowed here”
  • ModSecurity “Response body too large”
  • Apache “server reached MaxRequestWorkers setting”
  • PHP request body limit “client intended to send too large body”
  • PHP request body limit “client intended to send too large body”
  • PHP sessions “503 Internal Server Error” or “Failed to read session data”
  • Apache .htaccess “403 Forbidden: pcfg_openfile: unable to check htaccess file, ensure it is readable”
