If your site gives an error or the pages of the site do not open, you need to establish the cause of the problem.
The first step is to check the - error_log - the site's error log.
cPanel creates an error log in the root directory of the site.
Login to cPanel - File Manager.
Open the site directory.
In the site directory you need to find the file - error_log.
Click on it with the right button and select - View.
In the error log, you can see the reason for the 500 error on the site.
