Finding the error log

    We have a new site hosted with a hosting company that I have not used before (Loopia in Sweden). In their setup, the PHP error_log is pointed to syslog, but they allow for a statement in .htaccess (php_value error_log) that points the log to somewhere else. I have configured that and I can see that the log file exists and has errors in it, and the plugin’s wp-config settings are correct and point to the same file.

    The Error Log Monitor plugin is still complaining that it is unable to find the log, and says:

    Error Log Monitor setup

    There was an error:
    The current error_log value syslog is not supported. Please change it to an absolute path.

    Is there a way to get things to work in this configuration? The hosting company will not do anything to change the configured global or local value for error_log.

    Thanks,

    Barry

    The plugin gets the error_log value directly from PHP, so it should always match what PHP is actually using. There is no cache or database involved.

    I think this suggests that the settings in wp-config.php are not working as expected. Are you using ini_set() to change the configuration? Does the host allow that?
