Hey ,

I think if you are error_log directive is set to syslog, then logs are save at /var/log/message.
On my server its set to syslog and the file /var/log/message is also updated but I am not able to find any php log data in this file.

any hint wat’s happening?

I think it would need to enable this tag (log_errors = On) php.ini to get this complete.

But I suggest it’s not a good Idea to enable on the main configuration file where a server hosted multiple sites. Just add this entries on .htaccess make sense on such case to trouble shoot.

@Kurt
You might try ini_set() as well if you have trouble getting custom php.ini files to work

Kurt,

You need to setup php as FastCGI which allows the -c option. With this option you can provide custom php.ini file and error log file for each user. See this article for more info. This is lighttpd specific but you should able to setup with Apache or any other server with mod_fastcgi.

Hellow,

Is it possible to log errors of diffrent websites in different errorfiles?

I have a server that’s hosting different websites and I want that all of the php-errors are logged in different file. For each website a file.

Is that possible and how do I do it?

tnx in advance

Carl,

Use chmod and chown command to set permissions.

“yes I did assumed that Apache or lighttpd has a write permissions”

In the case that it doesn’t, how can this be changed?

I have ligttpd (PHP FastCGI) and I cannot see the log.

How can I get it in this case ?

Small misspelling in title: “log fiie”

@Anjanesh, good point, user can set those from a php script itself.

@Philipp, yes I did assumed that Apache or lighttpd has a write permissions

Appreciate your posts!

You have to watch, that the logfile is writeable by the web-server process!

It would be much better to have a single config php-file and define them there instead.


ini_set("log_errors"     , "1");
ini_set("error_log"      , "Errors.log.txt");
ini_set("display_errors" , "0");
