Apache error log with PHP errors

I just set up PHP and Apache and would like to find where the errors are going. What is the default path of the error logs in apache for PHP?

Solution 1:

There are the locations in these popular operating systems:

RHEL / Red Hat / CentOS / Fedora Linux Apache error file location - /var/log/httpd/error_log

Debian / Ubuntu Linux Apache error log file location - /var/log/apache2/error.log

FreeBSD Apache error log file location - /var/log/httpd-error.log

The detailed answer about the Apache log files is here: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/apache-logs/

Solution 2:

Try this:

1. error_reporting = E_ALL | E_STRICT
2. error_log = /var/log/php_errors.log
3. Create log file manually

touch /var/log/php_errors.log
chown www-data: /var/log/php_errors.log
chmod +rw /var/log/php_errors.log

Now you can view PHP errors by this way

    tail /var/log/php_errors.log
