For this you need to create following files as explained in the following example:
Example:
Company name: Coreover
Module Name: Catalog

File path: app\code\local\Coreover\Catalog\etc\config.xml
Config.xml file:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
.............

<global>
<blocks>
<catalog>
<rewrite>
<product_list_toolbar>Coreover_Catalog_Block_Product_List_Toolbar</product_list_toolbar>
</rewrite>
</catalog>
</blocks>
..............
</global>
............
</config>


File Path: app\code\local\Coreover\Catalog\Block\Product\List\Toolbar.php

Php file for your module :

<?php
class Coreover_Catalog_Block_Product_List_Toolbar extends Mage_Catalog_Block_Product_List_Toolbar {

//Your Code for rewriting functions

}
?>

The access logs are usually somewhere under /var/log/httpd (I don't remember exactly where cpanel keeps them). Once you find the log file for that domain you could download and search through it for the error code (if it's not too big) or just "grep 501 filename".
