Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-07-08 12:58:01] akorthaus at web dot de Description: ------------ I have the following settings in php.in + phpinfo(): log_errors = On error_log = "/var/log/apache/php_error.log" Server API: Apache (mod_php) Apache-Version: 1.3.31 But if I produce a php-error, this error gets logged into Apache error-log: /var/log/apache/error_log, and not into /var/log/apache/php_error.log, as configured. The reason was that mod_php not like mod_gzip and mod_ssl, loggs errors with rights of the apache child-process. The Apache user cannot create files in /var/log/apache, and cannot write to files owned by root. But there is no error-message in Apaches error_log, I would expect something like "could not open '/var/log/apache/php_error.log', permission denied". Only php-errors itself get logged into Apaches error_log. perhaps its a "feature request". ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=29063&edit=1
