Where does PHP's error log reside in XAMPP?

I've been using XAMPP for Window开发者_高级运维s.

Where does PHP's error log reside in XAMPP?

\xampp\apache\logs\error.log, where xampp is your installation folder. If you haven't changed the error_log setting in PHP (check with phpinfo()), it will be logged to the Apache log.

I found it in: \xampp\php\logs\php_error_log

You can also open the XAMPP control panel and click on the button Logs:

For Mac users, XAMPP version 1.7.3:

/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/logs/error_log

\xampp\php\logs did not exist at all for me - for whatever reason.

I simply had to create a folder in \xampp\php\ called logs and then the php_error_log file was created and written to.

For anyone searching for the PHP log file in XAMPP for Ubuntu, it is:

/opt/lampp/logs/php_error_log

Most probably it will be having a big size (mine was about 350 MBs) and it slowed down my text editor when I opened the file. If you do not care about all the previous logs you can empty the file easily by simply going to the terminal and then writing these three lines one by one:

sudo su 
cd /opt/lampp/logs/
> php_error_log

And newer logs will be easy and fast to open now. The angle bracket empties the file (Works with bash only, doesn't work on zsh).

Look in your configuration file and search for the error_log setting. Or use phpinfo() to find this setting.

You can simply check your log path from phpMyAdmin.

Run this:

http://localhost/dashboard/

Now click PHPInfo (top right corner) or you can simply open this URL in your browser:

http://localhost/dashboard/phpinfo.php

Now search for "error_log"(without quotes). You will get the log path.

By default, the XAMPP PHP log file path is in /xampp_installation_folder/php/logs/php_error_log, but I noticed that sometimes it would not be generated automatically. Maybe it could be a Windows account write permission problem? I am not sure, but I created the logs folder and php_error_log file manually and then PHP logs were logged in it finally.

For Mac users, it can be found in:

/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/logs/php_error_log

For my issue, I had to zero out the log:

sudo bash -c ' > /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/logs/php_error_log '

\xampp\apache\logs\error.log is the default location of error logs in PHP.

As said in previous answers, you can find the PHP error log in Windows. In C:\xampp\apache\logs\error.log. You can easily display the last logs by tail -f .\error.log.

In the current version I've just installed (8.0.11) the installer "forgets" to create the folder C:\xamppp\php\logs, perhaps by design but that is ApacheFriends for you
