How to clear ERROR LOG for a certain account in Centos? I am running cPanel. I would like to purge all old error log for a certain customer's domain and start with new.

I run the following command regularly to clear my customer's error_log file to save some disk space. find /home/ -size +1240k -name error_log -exec rm -rf {} \; That will delete any error_log file which more than 1Mb file size. Feel free to change the value.

I tried the command but doesn't seem to work. I actually want to clear the error log under the account's cPanel. I tested the command, then logged in to the domain's cPanel and checked the error log. The list is still long.

There are 2 options you can try.. You can either delete them OR empty them To delete cd /home/cPanel-username find -type f -name error_log -exec rm -f {} \; To empty cd /home/cPanel-username for i in `find -name error_log`; do echo > $i; done If you are unsure, contact your webhost.
