harmless rootPleskdebian, ubuntu
root@server
tail -n 50 /var/log/sw-cp-server/error_log

Prints the last 50 lines of the sw-cp-server error log. Useful when the panel shows a 502 error or does not respond on port 8443 at all. Typical causes are sw-engine not running or a problem with the panel certificate.

Note: Application errors of the panel itself are logged in /var/log/plesk/panel.log.
