    There are the locations in these popular operating systems:

    RHEL / Red Hat / CentOS / Fedora Linux Apache error file location - /var/log/httpd/error_log

    Debian / Ubuntu Linux Apache error log file location - /var/log/apache2/error.log

    FreeBSD Apache error log file location - /var/log/httpd-error.log

  2. Try this:

    1. error_reporting = E_ALL | E_STRICT
    2. error_log = /var/log/php_errors.log
    3. Create log file manually
    touch /var/log/php_errors.log
chown www-data: /var/log/php_errors.log
chmod +rw /var/log/php_errors.log

    Now you can view PHP errors by this way

        tail /var/log/php_errors.log
