For example on a dreamhost account you could try this: <br /> <br /><code> <br />tail -f /home/account/logs/website.com/http/error.log <br /></code> <br />As the errors pour in, you will see them come by. Change 'account' to the username you have on dreamhost and website.com to the domainname you host there. If the errors come in large amounts you can filter them by using grep: <br /> <br /><code> <br />tail -f /home/account/logs/website.com/http/error.log | grep -i "search_term" <br /></code> <br /> <br />Now only errors containing 'search_term' will be shown.

Useful if you're searching a large website with lots of images and you only want to find a certain function or variable. <br /> <br /><code> <br />find ./ -type f -name \*.php -exec grep -il "search_term" {} \; <br /></code> Thu, 18 May 2006 00:15:34 GMT http://snippets.dzone.com/posts/show/2061 yoghoyogho ()
