log for each of them.Apache is a powerful
open-source solution for web servers. The logging
capabilities in Apache are very flexible. Most
log setting options are applicable to any
operating system, but some of them are specific

of logs with detailed comments for each
directive.

Apache like errors, notifications, warnings, etc.
This log is very useful for finding and fixing
server-side problems. It is written in the sites
Apache config file usually placed in

in one log, this directive will suffice. However,
you can specify a WordPress error log file for
each domain.

and access log. - Logging of the Nginx errors occurs in a specific
file, stderr, or Syslog. It collects all the
errors that occurred during the operation of the
webserver. By default, it is enabled globally - To log only certain errors, you need to place a
directive in the HTTP, server, stream, or
location section. And so you can only log
critical errors and alarms
