When investigating any issue, the first thing you should always do is check the log files, as they generally provide insight as to what’s causing the erroneous behavior.
The following is a break down of the most commonly accessed log files, for cPanel and cPanel managed services:
cPanel logs any error it incurs here. This should always be the first place you look when you encounter errors or strange behavior in cPanel/WHM.
All license update attempts are logged here. If you run into any license errors when logging in, check here.
The stats daemon (cpanellogd) logs the output from all stats generators (Awstats, Webalizer, Analog) here.
General information pertaining to cPanel requests is logged here (Client Information, Request URI)
