Via the dashboard

Cito has a built-in log viewer that can show you the following:
  • PHP Error logs: any logs generated by PHP (where relevant).
  • Nginx error logs: this shows you any logs generated by the web server itself.
  • Nginx access logs: shows you all requests to your site.
You can find this by browsing to Site settings, then clicking the Logs tab. Log View The log viewer has a “Live” mode which will stream logs in real time. You can also manually refresh or download logs as text files.

PHP errors are logged to the file error_log in the directory they were generated in (e.g. public_html).
