Let's start by finding Apache's error log.
1. Open Terminal.
2. Run the following command to ask Apache's
config
file where it's saving the logs to:grep ErrorLog /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
3. Terminal will return something similar to the following:
# ErrorLog: The location of the error log file. # If you do not specify an ErrorLog directive within a <VirtualHost> ErrorLog "/private/var/log/apache2/error_log"
4. Retrieve the last few lines of the log by running the following command:
tail /private/var/log/apache2/error_log
5. The log will show you a bunch of things, but the most important message is this one, that says PHP
Fatal error
.
