PHP CLI won't log errors

PHP currently will not log errors produced from the command line.

I have:

log_errors = On
error_log = /var/log/php_errors.log

in file /etc/php5/cli/php.ini.

Am I missing a further setting to get this working?

Solution

  • Please check that the user account running PHP CLI has write access to /var/log/php_errors.log.

    Additionally, you can verify that you are using the correct php.ini file like this:

    php -a -c /etc/php5/cli/php.ini
