Location of error logs

Can anyone tell me where I can find the error logs on Local?

Hi @ob80,

There’s a logs folder in every site’s folder. Tip: If you click on the circled caret by the site path in Local it’ll open the site’s folder.

Here are some screenshots for context:

02 AM


I’m running Local under Windows and have an error 500 that I cannot diagnose.

When I look under logs\nginx I notice that error.log is empty and never has anything written to it.

As it stands, I’m unable to progress with my custom plugin as I have no idea what is causing the error 500. Am I looking in the right place for a log for this error or should it be reported elsewhere?

Many thanks

Hi Matt,

Sorry for the delay getting back to you!

Do you see any errors in the logs in the php folder?

Also, have you tried enabling WP_DEBUG in wp-config.php?
