That is the error phpBB is giving you? Check the server error logs.

Those are not error logs. The first one is from the access log and the second one is mail log.

The error log location is dependent on what control panel you are using and how it's been configured. You can try opening ACP >> php information link on left and find the value for error_log. While you there determine the value for error_reporting and you can look it up here:

https://davidwalsh.name/php-error_repor ... -reporting

Additionally there may be server error log in /var/log/

-------------

As side note a bit of friendly advice. If you are running unmanaged server you should already know to look in error log and where/how to find them.

Do you have error logs enabled on the server?
Mostly you have to do that in the php version tab.
Sorry! My English is bat ;) !!!

As I noted previously that is not from the error log, that is from the access log. The access log only records requests to the server.
