This error occur because you’re most likely migrated into a new server that are using latest CentOS version. On the latest CentOS, putting a log inside the /var/www directory is prohibited and the server will not allow it – that’s why you’re getting this error. Instead put it in the /var/log directoryyou have to change your .conf files of your website. Similar below:
<VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin webmaster@yourwebsite.com ServerName www.yourwebsite.com ServerAlias yourwebsite.com DocumentRoot /var/www/yourwebsite.com/public_html ErrorLog /var/log/yourwebsite.com-error.log CustomLog /var/log/yourwebsite.com-requests.log combined </VirtualHost> <Directory /var/www/yourwebsite.com/public_html> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride All </Directory>
