Logs & Troubleshooting

Diagnose site errors, monitor performance, and view service logs.

Log File Locations

Burrow stores all logs in a single directory under %USERPROFILE%\.burrow\logs\:

File Description
{domain}.access.log HTTP access log for a specific site
{domain}.error.log PHP and Nginx errors for a specific site
burrow.log Desktop application log

You can tail access or error logs directly in the GUI from any site's settings panel, or via the CLI:

burrow log myapp.local access
burrow log myapp.local error

If no log type is specified, the error log is shown by default.

Troubleshooting Port Conflicts

If Nginx or MariaDB fails to start, another application may be occupying the required port:

  • Port 80 / 443 (Nginx): Commonly blocked by Skype, IIS, or other local web servers.
  • Port 3306 (MariaDB): Commonly blocked by a standalone MySQL or MariaDB installation.

You can change service ports in the Burrow Settings panel to resolve conflicts without uninstalling the conflicting software.
