The Httpd Error Log contains error information generated by HP SMH modules, Kerberos misconfiguration errors, and CGI execution errors (httpd). It is the first place to look when a problem occurs with starting the server or with server operation because the log often contains details of what went wrong and how to fix the problem.

The Httpd Error Log is available on HP-UX directly but is visible in Windows and Linux by adding the httpd-error-log tag in the smhpd.xml file.

You must have administrative access to HP SMH to access the Httpd Error Log.

For HP SMH 3.x and later, it is possible to display the httpd error log in the HP SMH user interface using the smhconfig tool as follows:

To enable displaying the error log:

smhconfig -p or --httpd-error-log True

To disable displaying the error log:

smhconfig -p or --httpd-error-log False

HP SMH must be restarted to apply the new configuration.

To restart the HP SMH service:

smhconfig -r

To access the Httpd Error Log:

Select Logs from the menu and click the Httpd Error Log link in the System Management Homepage box.
