where’s the error log, I can’t approve comments

  • 1. How do I programatically determine where my error logs are? Where are they by default? (for both database & wordpress errors)

    2. I can’t approve comments. If I select them, change the strip box to approve, and click change, the script hangs and says “waiting for blog.masonkramer.net” permanently. On a refresh, nothing has changed. This reminds me of an error I had during installation, when the script would hang during the initial install. I worked around the problem but it seems to have come up again. Now I want to find the root of it. Thanks in advance.

    I managed to get the comments approved by editing the comments_approved field in the comments table. However I’m still unable to do it programmatically. I’m sure someone here can tell me where the logfiles are, even if they have no suggestions for my problem. Thanks in advance.

    I’m able to edit, delete, unapprove, and otherwise change comments using WordPress. The only thing I can’t do is approve them. This implies that my database is working correctly and that the issue is on WordPress’s end. I’ll keep checking back here for details.

    By the way, I found the error log (it was just Apache’s log, I thought WP generated its own log for some crazy reason).
