Re: How to create an error log file?

Hello, On linux, the apache error log is found in dir /var/log/httpd/. Also, log::log4perl gives great flexibility to trap all errors that you want and put them in a customized format in a log file.

On linux, the apache error log is found in dir /var/log/httpd/. I'm using Linux (Slackware) and the (main) error log is in /var/log/apache2/error_log. The sysadmin can put that directory where ever he/she wants. On the other hand, foreach site I always create a dedicated /logs dir under the site directory (not a public directory). This way I don't fill up the main error_log and makes it easier to follow errors on the web site I'm currently working. I do this when I configure a new site on Apache: `<VirtualHost ....> ...... ErrorLog /path/to/website/error_log .... </VirtualHost>` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
