#17839: php5: Newlines showing as "\n" in Apache error log ----------------------------------------+----------------------------------- Reporter: simon@… | Owner: ryandesign@… Type: defect | Status: closed Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Bugs Component: ports | Version: 1.7.0 Resolution: invalid | Keywords: php5, error log, newlines Port: php5 | ----------------------------------------+----------------------------------- Comment(by ryandesign@…): PHP seems to either write to the error_log if one is set and it can write to it, otherwise it writes to the Apache error log. I can't find a way to make it write to both. So since it's writing to the Apache error log even though you're telling it to write elsewhere, it must be unable to write to the logfile you've given it. Check that the php.log has www as the owner and group, that it is writable, and that all the intermediate directories are at least executable by the www user. This is not usually the case -- on my systems, /Users/*/Library has 0700 permissions, meaning only the owner is allowed to look inside. If you want everyone including php/apache to be able to look inside, it will need 0755 permissions. Same goes for the Logs directory inside. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/17839#comment:7> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
