I am sure many of you by now know how to check your Error Logs for your website in Cpanel.  If you don’t, login to your Cpanel and look under the “Logs” section.

This is a handy little tool as often it will find little mistakes that you may have missed such as missing images etc.

One thing you may also find is that some browsers are looking for your “favicon.ico”.  If you don’t have one, you’ll find an error like this in the log:

[Fri Mar 26 15:36:18 2010] [error] [client 00.000.000.000] File does not exist: /home/yoursite/public_html/facicon.ico

Here’s a brief explanation of a favicon:

A favicon (short for favorites icon), also known as a website icon, shortcut icon, url icon, or bookmark icon is an icon associated with a particular website or webpage. A web designer/owner can create such an icon and install it into a website (or webpage) by several means, and most graphical web browsers will then make use of it. To use favicon on your site, you use the code given below between the head tags.

<link rel=”shortcut icon” type=”image/x-icon” href=”favicon.ico” />
