Node.js stderr location

All Node.js applications deployed using Hawk Host Node.js applications contain a stderr.log file which should contain all error messages for the Node.js application. The Node.js stderr.log file is located in the application root, for example:

  • Application Root — /home/username/nodeapp
  • stderr.log location — /home/username/nodeapp/stderr.log

You will replace username with your actual username and nodeapp with your actual application name.

The stderr.log can be an excellent resource for determining the reasons for 503 errors in Node.js applications when visiting the Application URL.

To further debug Node.js applications, you can set a Node.js console log location.
