You can use cPanel to access your Linux hosting account with GUI. It is relatively easier to work on the GUI rather than CLI. If you are looking for some advanced troubleshooting, you need to know the command-line tools. cPanel saves most of the logs in its log files. You can view log files to fix your issues on the server.
Following are the various cPanel log path.
