Debugging backend PHP issues

Logs in UI

Logs UI

You can view recent backend PHP errors directly in the Maintenance > Logs section of the UI. This provides quick access to logs without needing terminal access.

Accessing logs directly

Sometimes, the UI might not be accessible. In that case, you can access the logs directly inside the container.

Step-by-step:

  1. Open a shell into the container:

bash docker exec -it netalertx /bin/sh

  1. Check the NGINX error log:

bash cat /var/log/nginx/error.log

  1. Check the PHP application error log:

bash cat /app/log/app.php_errors.log

These logs will help identify syntax issues, fatal errors, or startup problems when the UI fails to load properly.
