200 Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, [no address given] and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
i found that there were logs in Apache folder . also there were logs in folders called user and fronted in my username directory at top level. which logs do i see.
what is the meaning of access logs in user directory ? error logs in user directory ? access logs in front end directory ? error logs in front end directory ? logs folder in Apache ?
also what is the error i am getting and how can i solve it best ?
Did you set DEBUG=False in your settings? If so, you must add a SECRET_KEY value and ALLOWED_HOSTS setting. Check the Django docs for more info about these settings.
Apart from that, the logs at ~/log/user/error_yourapp.log is what you need to check.
However, a 200 error is not a server error (500), and therefore might not end up in that error log, if I am not mistaken.
A last resort might be to create a custom app listening to a port (and a hook it up to a website). Then SSH into your account and start ./manage.py runserver localhost:YOURPORT and open yourproject.webfactional.com:YOURPORT. If the server crashes, you should see the traceback right there in the terminal.
