This week our project will be to check our error logs and clean up those errors.
To start login to cPanel and click on Error Log. This will bring up a list of the last 100 or so errors.
One of the most common errors you will see in the log is a File does not exist robots.txt. This is easy to fix by simply adding a blank robots.txt file in your public_html and subdomain folders. If your not sure what should go in a robots.txt file we have added some examples in the wiki.
If you see any errors in the Error Log go through and fix them so that you can ensure your visitors are finding the right page of your site.
If you get stuck let me know in the comments.

If your using cPanel login and click on Error Log.
If your using something else let me know and I can see if I can find where the error logs are.

I’m a bit scared when it comes to modifying my robots.txt, reason being ,I’ve set up a rule that excludes some top level directories. But I will try using mt cPanel and hope this works better for me. Thanks
