Im trying to figure out how to setup FreeBSD 5.3 to log
php events to its own log file via syslog.
In /etc/syslog.conf, I added ->
# php logs
!httpd
*.*                                             /var/log/php.log

I created a empty file for the log ->
gladiator# touch /var/log/php.log
gladiator# ls -l /var/log/php*
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  0 Jan 20 16:37 /var/log/php.log

Then I HUPped syslogd ->
gladiator# ps aux | grep syslogd
root     277  0.0  0.2  1316  908  ??  Is    4:14PM   0:00.01
/usr/sbin/syslogd -s
gladiator# kill -HUP 277

In my php script, Im using ->
define_syslog_variables();
openlog('TESTING', LOG_NDELAY, LOG_USER);
syslog(LOG_INFO, $message);
closelog();

But nothing is being logged to the file.
Am I doing something wrong on the FreeBSD side of things??

Thanks




PHP as an Apache module? IANAE, but wouldn't
you have to change log settings in httpd.conf?


I dont think so. These errors, that I want to log, are initiated by
the php function syslog() (look at the example above).
These messages are supposed to go to the syslogd daemon, not to httpd's log file.
In the example above, if I change the priority from "LOG_INFO" to "LOG_WARNING",
the error messages go to /var/log/messages.
I just need it to start going to its own file.
The ultimate goal, is that I want to have a cluster of webservers,
logging to a central server.


I think this is a FreeBSD problem.
Here is what I have.
1.  I removed my initial modification of /etc/syslog.conf, and added ->
user.=info                                      /var/log/php.log

According to syslog.conf man page, that should mean, any syslog events that
come is as LOG_USER, and only LOG_INFO, should be appended to
/var/log/php.log
2.  I HUPped syslogd.
3.  Im using logger to try to add a message to the log file like ->
gladiator# logger -s -p user.info test
gsam: test

But unfortunately, the message "test" doesn't appear in /var/log/php.log OR
/var/log/messages.
I currently have the file /var/log/php.log chmodded to 777.
Im including my syslog.conf file.
Can anyone tell me, as to why, Im unable to log these tests?
Thanks
