Logging and Error Messages
Read the Log
Log in the Application
The log files are displayed in the config menu.
Log as Text Files
FreshRSS logs are located in:
- user related:
./FreshRSS/data/users/*/log.txt - general/system related:
./FreshRSS/data/users/_/log.txt
More Logging Information
More logs can be generated by enabling 'environment' => 'development' (default: 'production'), in ./FreshRSS/data/config.php
Error Message
If there is an ‘Application Problem’ or ‘Fatal Error’, then a HTTP 500 error message is shown with more information.
Often the Cause of Problems
A typical problem is wrong file permissions in the ./FreshRSS/data/ folder so make sure the Web server can write there and in sub-directories.
Common locations for additional logs
Adapt names and paths according to your local setup.
- If using Docker:
docker logs -f freshrss - To check Web server logs on a Linux system using systemd:
journalctl -xeu apache2and if you are using php-fpm:journalctl -xeu php-fpm - Otherwise, Web server logs are typically located in
/var/log/apache2/or similar - System logs may also contain relevant information in
/var/log/syslog, or if using systemd:sudo journalctl -xe
Running the feed update script (with the same user and PHP version as your Web server) might provide other hints, e.g.: sudo -u www-data /usr/bin/php ./FreshRSS/app/actualize_script.php
