As confusing unexperienced administrators is not a bug, here the suggestion then.
Rename the XenForo ACP "Server" error log to not contain the word "Server". In fact, it does not store server errors but php errors, so the name is not only confusing for inexperienced users, but also technically wrong. When asking an inexperienced client to check their server error log, most will open the XenForo ACP error log in the expectation, that it contains all server errors, hence the name. Most will then follow up with "I didn't know there was a difference" and "why is it named that way if it doesn't contain all server errors?".
So yeah, TL;DR: Remove the word "server" from "server error log" to stop confusing people and cause wrong expectations.
