What is using php_error.log in /var/log on my Nginx server

  • 772

On my Nginx server in /var/log there is php5-fpm.log and php_error.log The php_error.log has all kind of notices so that it's size grows to hundreds of Mb's. I tried to find which php.ini managed this file, but no luck.

php --ini

gives:

Configuration File (php.ini) Path: /etc/php5/cli
Loaded Configuration File:         /etc/php5/cli/php.ini

/etc/php5/cli/conf.d/20-tidy.ini,
/etc/php5/cli/conf.d/20-xdebug.ini,
/etc/php5/cli/conf.d/20-xmlrpc.ini

The /etc/php5/cli/php.ini is set to

error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED & ~E_STRICT

From the browser, phpinfo(); says that /etc/php5/fpm/php.ini is used, this is also set to error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED & ~E_STRICT

After setting this values I did a sudo service php5-fpm restart

Still all kind of notices and stack traces, Any idea where this logfile comes from?

php.ini nginx

    Hi you first need to check which php-fpm.conf file the php-fpm service is using.

    sudo ps -aux | grep "php-fpm"

    It will show the configuration file it is using.

    Go to that path. e.g. /etc/php5/fpm and edit php-fpm.conf to disable logging.

    Inside /etc/php5/fpm/www there is another .conf file disable logging on that too.
