GoDaddy Windows Plex PHP error_log not working right

Question

I'm having an issue where I get an "Internal Server Error" on my php page. To try and debug it, I attempted to use the error_log function in php. However I could not get it to write anything to the error log. Even in a simple php file:

httpdocs/temp.php

<?php
error_log("this is an error");
echo "hello";
?>

I would receive a basic internal server error message:

Internal Server Error The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator to inform of the time the error occurred and of anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Web Server at xxxxxxxx.com

So I looked up how to set up the error_log properly, thinking that it was somehow not set up correctly. I found this article .

Since I am on windows I edited the .user.ini file in my httpdocs root folder and added the error_log line:

httpdocs/.user.ini

[PHP]
error_log=G:\PleskVhosts\xxxxxxxxxx.com\httpdocs\php_error.log
display_errors=off
log_errors=on
open_basedir="G:/PleskVhosts//xxxxxxxxx.com\;C:\Windows\Temp\"
safe_mode=off
sendmail_from=xxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxx.shr.prod.phx3.secureserver.net
SMTP=relay-hosting.secureserver.net

This article helped me get the absolute path

I restarted the IIS application pool and created an empty php_error.log file in my httpdocs folder, however it still never wrote anything to the log file, and continued to just give the Internal Server Error. I also tried removing all the other lines in the .user.ini file besides the error_log line, restarted, and still nothing. I also tried stopping the application pool and starting it up again, still nothing.

I double checked the phpinfo and the log_errors field was set to on, and the correct directory was set for error_log. So it is seeing the .user.ini file.

I tried calling their support but they couldn't help me.

They linked me to this article about IIS error handling. I created a web.config file and put it in the httpdocs folder as it says in that article. Now I get something different. Now the output of my page is the error that I was passing to error_log. So in other words, when I visit test.php the output on the screen says:

this is an error

Notice how the php script dies after the error? Not only should the error not be put on screen (it should be put in the php_error.log file, which is still not being written to at this point), but the php script shouldn't die afterwards unless it runs into a fatal error. I should see the "hello" from the echo and I don't.

What do I have to do to get this working properly?

My hosting plan has IIS 8 and PHP 5.4 installed.

PS. Their support basically said they cant help me any further because changing configuration files is "coding" and they dont offer coding support.
