In cPanel, go to 'Metrics' -> 'Errors'. This page displays the last 300 errors from your website. You can also access raw Apache error logs via 'Files' -> 'File Manager' -> navigate to `/public_html/error_log` or `/home/yourusername/logs` or directly via SSH. These logs provide crucial details like the timestamp, the specific file path, and the nature of the error (e.g., 'Allowed memory size exhausted', 'Maximum execution time exceeded').
