Re: [PHP] php.ini not creating logs
First, run a php script that calls phpinfo() and make sure that the php module in your server is running against the php.ini file you think it is. Verify the name and path of the log file. Second, make sure that errors are being reported, meaning check your php.ini file for the "error_reporting" directive and make sure it says something like "error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE" - make sure the line is not commented out. Third, check the ownership and permissions on the log file AND the directory the log file is in and make sure that they're such that the webserver can write to them. Restart the webserver. Write a php script with an error in it and request the script. Rinse and repeat. ..michael..

Re: [PHP] php.ini not creating logs
Do this, set "log_errors = on" in your php.ini file. Do not set the "error_log = file" comment that line out and all other error_log ones as well. This will then log all errors to apache's log files and you can view the errors there.

ya i have tried that too.. wot else can be the problem. my php.ini looks like this: ; Print out errors (as a part of the output).
