Php error log not working

He worked for centuries and stopped. I have to miss something obvious so that complexity can arise.

/etc/php5/apache2/php.ini appropriate settings:

display_errors = On (not sure if this makes a difference) log_errors = On error_log = "/var/www/error_log.log"

In my code, I have:

 echo 'About to log'; error_log('An error');

I see About logging in to the page, but nothing in the error log. Any ideas?

Have you restarted the web server? Until you do php.ini changes will not be considered.

In addition, if you want to track PHP errors, you need to have track_errors=On and error_reporting=E_ALL , although this is not related to error_log calls. Also ensure that the error log file is writable by the web server user.

Ultimately, these were issues of resolution. The file became too large to open it quickly, so I deleted and updated it, but with read-only permissions.

I completely forgot that I removed it, what a pain.

A second entry for error_log appeared in my php.ini file (default is Xampp), overriding the one I installed. Therefore, if other answers do not work for you, repeat the search for several entries of the necessary settings.
