PHP Error log in CP gives me 403 forbidden

Question

If I want to view the PHP Error logs from craft true utils/logs I get an 403 Forbidden error.

nginx/1.6.2

../admin/utils/logs/phperrors.log

What could be wrong?

You can view the craft.log, craft.log.1, etc. files fine? Is it an nginx 403 or a Craft one? — Brad Bell, Commented Dec 3, 2014 at 23:37
Sounds like some weird nginx configuration/permissions issue. Strange. — Brad Bell, Commented Dec 4, 2014 at 16:26

Had the same problem. I my case, it was the following code in my nginx config file:

location ~* (?:\.(?:bak|config|sql|fla|ini|log|sh|inc|swp|dist)|~)$ {
    deny all;
}

After removing log| from the list, the problem was solved.

Sounds like a file permission issue. Make sure that phperrors.log has acceptable read permissions.

Not working. Read permissions are the same as craft.log. And they work normal. Tried other permission settings. Same error.

I also have this issue, all the files in /craft/storage/runtime/logs are: -rw-r--r-- 1 forge forge - I can access /admin/utils/logs but if I select another logfile, I get the same nginx 403.
