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?

1You havent mentioned what kind of operating system you're running apache on. Check your apache config for the location of logfiles.– pauskaMar 22, 2011 at 22:59

Which is the file that should contain this information by the way? - Thanks!– GenadinikMar 22, 2011 at 23:02

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/
Try this:
- error_reporting = E_ALL | E_STRICT
- error_log = /var/log/php_errors.log
- 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

Would be useful to many more - if you could mention where to add the lines 1 and 2 Aug 8, 2020 at 9:24

1#1 and #2 can be configured in several places: In php.ini (global config) or an apache virtualhost block (per website config)... or at runtime with ini_set(). That is probably why the author of this answer did not get into that particular subject.– JetteNov 2, 2020 at 9:25
