Keep getting 500 error but nothing in the logs

[Terru Ku]

hi

i just uploaded a site that is working on another hosting service. 

when i try to hit the site i get an internal 500 error but nothing in the logs either the error or the access logs. am i missing something? 

the site is http://helios1.heliohost.us/

Your database settings for the app in env.php are invalid or not supported. I renamed the app/env.php to env.php.out and it now seems to start and want to install.

I don't believe we allow connections on port 3307 either, so that remote database likely isn't going to work even if the credentials are right.

thanks. I have changed the DB settings to point to the local database but stil get the error

More importantly which log file do i see to debug this myself? there is nothing in the apache error.log

I regenerated the app.env from the install script and it works now.. thanks.

 

but the question about which log file to check still remains

[wolstech]

PHP errors are logged in error_log in the logs folder in your home folder.

That said, when an application produces a 500 error after being moved from another host, the first thing to check is usually the database settings, so I just looked there and immediately found an issue.

I did look at error_log  but found nothing there.

even when i changed the DB settings manually it was not working... but still nothing in the error_log .... strange
