Hi
Using Terminal, where can I find php_error_log
?
I found another post on the forum that suggested using
find / -name php_error_log
I got a permission denied message. Then I remembered I need to put sudo
before any commands, so I tried
sudo find / -name php_error_log
Terminal listed lots of files, but still output the permission denied message.
I’ve also tried looking at my info.php
file, but the only reference I could find was error_log
, that just says no value
Any help would be much appciated.

Hi @konrado
Thanks for this, however, I found this post: Apache Log Location, it looks like it should work.
I thought it was strange the error.log wasn’t on the server, it’s a standard file I’ve been able to access on another hosting provider.
Hi @smeehan

To edit it (you almost got that) - use e.g.

p.s. After editing the file, you must do:
For PHP to re-read the options.

Terminal output:
Which one do I need to edit?
I assume it’s this one?
/etc/php/7.0/apache2/php.ini
but when I run this:
/etc/php/7.0/apache2/php.ini
Terminal outputs:-bash: /etc/php/7.0/apache2/php.ini: Permission denied
I’m a beginner…
So, I tried:
sudo /etc/php/7.0/apache2/php.ini
Terminal outputs:sudo: /etc/php/7.0/apache2/php.ini: command not found
Any ideas?
