## Using SSH

Apache error and transfer logs are stored differently in cluster environments.

Issue the following commands to view error and transfer logs from the server using SSH:

```
less /home/username/var/domain.com/logs/error.log
less /home/username/var/domain.com/logs/transfer.log
```

You can also issue the following to view the PHP-FPM error logs:

```
less /home/username/var/php-fpm/error.log
```
