Okay, so I have turned on all the error handling options in /usr/local/etc/php.ini-dist. I have purposely put an error in my phpinfo.php page, it errors out in the browser, but no error log is created. My index.php page does not load and does not provide any errors. I set the error log to go into the /tmp directory, after trying /var/log and also my own home directory, it just will not be created in any of them. > NB if PHP doesn't give any errors, then it would suggest to me that your code > logic is broken. If the page works fine in php-4.0.3 then I don't see how it can be broken. This is frustrating. You can see the page at the link below. I have pasted my /usr/local/etc/php.ini-dist below. If it would help I can also add my index.php that is having problems...

In order for PHP to ; read it, it must be named 'php.ini'. PHP looks for it in the current ; working directory, in the path designated by the environment variable ; PHPRC, and in the path that was defined in compile time (in that order). ; Under Windows, the compile-time path is the Windows directory. The ; path in which the php.ini file is looked for can be overridden using ; the -c argument in command line mode. ; ; The syntax of the file is extremely simple. Whitespace and Lines ; beginning with a semicolon are silently ignored (as you probably guessed). ; Section headers (e.g. [Foo]) are also silently ignored, even though ; they might mean something in the future. ; ; Directives are specified using the following syntax: ; directive = value ; Directive names are *case sensitive* - foo=bar is different from FOO=bar. ; ; The value can be a string, a number, a PHP constant (e.g. E_ALL or M_PI), one ; of the INI constants (On, Off, True, False, Yes, No and None) or an expression ; (e.g. E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE), or a quoted string ("foo"). ; ; Expressions in the INI file are limited to bitwise operators and parentheses: ; | bitwise OR ; & bitwise AND ; ~ bitwise NOT ; ! boolean NOT ; ; Boolean flags can be turned on using the values 1, On, True or Yes. ; They can be turned off using the values 0, Off, False or No. ; ; An empty string can be denoted by simply not writing anything after the equal ; sign, or by using the None keyword: ; ; foo = ; sets foo to an empty string ; foo = none ; sets foo to an empty string ; foo = "none" ; sets foo to the string 'none' ; ; If you use constants in your value, and these constants belong to a ; dynamically loaded extension (either a PHP extension or a Zend extension), ; you may only use these constants *after* the line that loads the extension. ; ; All the values in the php.ini-dist file correspond to the builtin ; defaults (that is, if no php.ini is used, or if you delete these lines, ; the builtin defaults will be identical). ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ; Language Options ; ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ; Enable the PHP scripting language engine under Apache. engine = On ; Allow the <? tag.
