The admins at 1dollarhosting.com blow...

After screwing up the server that my site had happily been running my scripts on for 3 years, they tell me (after I sent them a nasty "What da heck?" email) that I can move my content to a newer, faster machine to avoid these sort of problems in the future (that sounds like a empty promise so I will treat it as such). I agree, b/u my site and give them the green light.

After the move, I u/l'ed my site to find out that my scripts no longer work. No problem, right? I can just view the error.log to see what the problem is to fix it. Only problem is that I have no /log folder access any more (they've been working on fixing it for the last MONTH!).

Anyways, with that out of my system, is there a way that I can, for the time being or as a permenant workaround, redirect the data that gets sent to the error.log file to a file of my chosing? I need the error.log information to debug issues as the scripts run beautifully on my WinXP/Apache/ASPerl setup but not on their FreeBSD/Apache/ASPerl setup

P.S.: No, it's not a shebang issue (I only wish it was that simple).

TIA
