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.
