PHP Plesk - php errors log files missing


I've rent a vServer with ubuntu 20.04 and use plesk

When PHP errors happen, then no error log files are created in the log folder.

On my old vServer which has windows there wasn't such problem, the error file was created in log/php_errors/websitename/php_error.log but in linux nothing.

in the php.ini I have log_errors = on

I've seen several similar questions but they aren't helping


Solution

  • On my Linux server, using Plesk, the error logs are located in the logs directory, one directory up from the website root. So, something like

    /var/www/vhosts/<domain.ext>/logs
    

    Sometimes they don't immediately appear there, then they can also be found in:

    /var/www/vhost/system/<domain.ext>/logs
    

    I don't know why the logs initially don't appear in the first location.
