[SOLVED] error log file problem
Greetings to all,
I have a little problem with an old site in Joomla 1.5 which despite being set in the Global Configuration -> Server value to the Report item no errors are still generates the error-log file, and gradually gain weight until saturate the space reserved for the domain .
In the file configuration.php the variable appears to be consistent with what is set in the back end it is $ error_reporting = '0';
Does anyone have any idea what this inconsistency is due and how to put off error reporting without putting their hands in php.ini?
Thanks in advance

Re: error log file problem
In Joomla 1.5 find the "System - Log" plugin and disable it. If that doesn't work; in the Global Configuration settings, under the System tab, change the path to the "logs" folder so it is incorrect and see if that stops the logging.

Hi dpacadmin,
many thanks for your kindly reply.
The System log plg was already disable, the path in Global Configuration under System tab is /home/mydomain/public_html/logs but the error_log file that I find is in /home/mydomain/public_html/

Re: error log file problem
Could be a server file, can you find the source of the errors and repair it, that should shrink the file. Could also be an extension you have added that created and uses the log file, you may be able to disable logging in the extension if that is the case.

Re: error log file problem
Sorry but I can't understand, I find the error_log file in public_html dir for 4 or 5 old sites Joomla 1.5.26
So I don't think it can be an extension added, because I have not changed any thing from a long time in these sites.
About server files, you thinks that is possible that files is made from the server ?
I must search the solution on my server?
I apologize if I did not understand

Re: error log file problem
ok dpacadmin,
maybe I've answered too much fast.
The errol log file in public_html is created by /usr/local/lib/php.ini on my apache server, probably the old site in Joomla 1.5 dont work very well with the new version of PHP server.
However I can set in php.ini the value off for log_error for solve my problem.
right?

Yes if it is the php error log then disabling logging of errors in the php.ini file should stop it. Unless the Host has an override on that setting, so if it doesn't work ask them why it didn't work.
