The Apache error log (error.log) records any Apache-level issues, which are usually general infrastructure issues, including capacity problems, .htaccess problems, and missing files.
The following line is a representative example of the data written into your website’s Apache per-site error log:
[Sun Feb 09 18:30:09 2020] [error] [pid=16573] "http://www.example.com"

hosting_site=example01live AH01630: client denied by server configuration:
