minikube and how to debug api server error

Question

I dont get what is going on with minikube. Below are the steps I undertook to fix the problem with a stopped apiserver.
1) I dont know why the api server stopped. How do I debug? this folder is empty:

 --> EMPTY ~/.minikube/logs/

2) After stop I start again and minikube says all is well. I do a status check and I get apiserver: Error. So...no logs..how do I debug?

3) And finally what would cause and apiserver error?

Thanks

~$ minikube status

kubelet: Running

Everything looks great. Please enjoy minikube!

you can also start the minikube with `minikube start -v=7` and post the results or check if there is something that could help recognize the issue. — aurelius, Jan 10 '19 at 16:13
please run "minikube start" command with the extra parameters to log --alsologtostderr -v=3 for additional logging. See if that gives any additional information. And also see if the below reference help you to restart the minikube apiserver manually. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50016081/can-we-restart-the-api-server-manually-on-a-local-minikube-installation — SkyArc, Apr 24 '20 at 23:07
