How to enable php error log, especially when using production php?

Sometimes there is some programming errors which cause 500 errors. But cannot see the reason anywhere.

 

I know the ini_set could work but I would like to set it globally for all php pages.

Hello,

In your OVH customer panel, navigate to Web Cloud > Hosting > and set your PHP environment in "Development" mode.

Doing so, the 500 error messages text should be displayed when they occur.

Unfortunatelly that is not a suitable answer.

  • I would like to have it in the production mode, without revealing any internal errors to everyone.
  • I don't see the output since it is called by 3rd party application. So a log file is really the only good option.

Sorry, I cannot help you.
You have no access to the php.ini file.
Try using ini_set: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3531703/how-do-i-log-errors-and-warnings-into-a-file

The solution was simpler than I though:

Just add a .user.ini file to the www folder. At least error_log setting seems to be effective then everywhere.

A better explanation to help the others:

www/.user.ini

log_errors=1
error_log=${DOCUMENT_ROOT}/../php-errors.log
error_reports=E_ALL

You can enable PHP error logging by editing your php.ini file and setting:

log_errors = On  
error_log = /path/to/error.log  
display_errors = Off

Then restart your server.
