Not writing to error.log

My error log was absolutly full, so I deleted everything in it. I then noticed that the errors were no longer being written in it, so I deleted the file completely. Then I set the permissions, owner and group. And the site errors are still not being written to the error.log file.

Can any one help me with this?

 

Have you restarted apache? This needs to be done if you change or truncate it's log files.

 

Hotwire did you find the solution to this?

 

Actually my problem is that one of my domain's error.log is not being updated. The apache2 error.log is just fine. Is it a permissions issue?

This user's error.log works:

Code:

# ls -l
total 576
drwxr-xr-x 3 webXX_ webXX   4096 2006-12-22 00:30 2006
drwxr-xr-x 8 webXX_ webXX   4096 2007-06-02 00:30 2007
-rw-r--r-- 1 webXX_ webXX 574112 2007-06-07 07:14 error.log
lrwxrwxrwx 1 webXX_ webXX     46 2007-06-02 00:30 web.log -> /home/www/www.----.com/log/2007/06/web.log

This user's doesn't:

Code:

root@server:/home/www/webXX/log# ls -l
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 5 webXX_ webXX 4096 2006-12-02 00:30 2006
drwxr-xr-x 8 webXX_ webXX 4096 2007-06-02 00:30 2007
-rw-r--r-- 1 webXX_ webXX   0 2007-06-06 10:13 error.log
lrwxrwxrwx 1 webXX_ webXX   49 2007-06-02 00:30 web.log -> /home/www/www.----2.net/log/2007/06/web.log

 

That seems to have worked. Even though apache created the error.log as root user, it is still writing the php errors and such to the file.

Thanks again.
