将错误记录到文件（PHP + IIS6 + FastCGI + Win2003服务器）

Question

Though I have read lots of posts and pages concerning the issue (shown below), I guess I'm missing something here. The mais issue is: my PHP errors are not being logged to the file specified nor to the system event log .

My phpinfo() shows : Windows Server 2003, PHP 5.3.6, log_errors = On, error_log = C:\\\\errorphp.log

I have tried both error_log = C:\\Inetpub\\logs\\php.log and error_log = syslog in php.ini to no effect (either one at a time).

I have:

1. restarted IIS after every php.ini change
2. granted the IUSR_XXXXX User Modify permissions on the folder AND the file
3. tried leaving the directory blank and letting PHP create the file
4. had a headache.

Any help is much appreciated.

Answer 1

In my case, setting

fastcgi.logging = 1

in php.ini solved the issue and I do have the log file working now (I left the file creation to php itself, my directory was blank )

I'd never guess that as the php.ini itself states (right above the stated config)

; Disable logging through FastCGI connection. PHP's default behavior is to enable this feature.

Go figure.

Have you

• checked your error_reporting level
• tried setting a log file inside the document root (incl. permission to write) to see if any restrictions apply?
