Creating PHP error log issue

PortStone

• April 25, 2018 10:27

Hello, I installed Nextcloud and everything is working fine but after enabling apcu in Nextcloud I get: Internal Server Error The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request. Please contact the server administrator if this error reappears multiple times, please include the technical details below in your report. More details can be found in the server log. so I checked the logs but it doesn't generated anything. To be safe I changed in WHM > Software > Multiphp INI Editor > Editor Mode the value error_log = error_log to error_log = php_error_log. Created the log file then I restarted Apache and connected again to my Cloud which of course has still the same error. But the PHP error file is still empty. Does someone know why and can help me?

  Hi @PortStone The details of the 500 error should be output to the Apache error logs. You can see them at /etc/apache2/logs/error_log - can you let us know what the related errors are there? Thank you,

  Hello, In that case, can you please show me what you have for Error reporting ultimately it would be best for this purpose to be reporting E_ALL Where are you looking for the log/where did you create it? The following forum posts also go over this: Thank you,

  error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE standard from cPanel. Changing it to error_reporting = E_ALL doesn't generate traffic either. /home/${user}/public_html/cloud

  Hi @PortStone Would you happen to be using PHP-FPM? It uses it's own error reporting which can be seen at /usr/local/cpanel/logs/php-fpm/error.log
  or /opt/cpanel/ea-phpXX/root/usr/var/log/php-fpm/error.log
  replace ea-phpXX with your ea-php version (i.e. ea-php70) Thank you,

  Hello @PortStone The only thing I see relevant in the PHP-FPM error log is in the second one which indicates you might need to manage the PHP-FPM pool for the domain: [24-Apr-2018 22:08:20] WARNING: [pool cloud_mydomain.tld] server reached max_children setting (5), consider raising it
  Can you also run the following to see if you're logging to an "error_log" file elsewhere? For example I ran mine for php 7.0 on my test server: # egrep 'error_log = |log_errors = |error_reporting = ' /opt/cpanel/ea-php70/root/etc/php.ini error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE log_errors = On error_log = "error_log"
  If it's set in the same manner can you confirm that there is not an error_log located in the documentroot for the domain as well as the following: # grep error /opt/cpanel/ea-php70/root/etc/php-fpm.d/domain.tld.conf php_admin_flag[log_errors] = on php_admin_value[error_log] = /home/$USER/logs/domain_tld.php.error.log php_value[error_reporting] = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE

  Hello, Your conf file shows the error log as being enabled. On my test domain with this enabled, I have the errors for the PHP error log being output to /home/myusername/logs/mydomain.tld.php.error.log
  Were you sure to replace $user with the actual username and mydomain.tld with your actual domain name? Thank you,

  Hello, yes I did. I even checked through SFTP to see which logs are there.

  Hello, thank you very much EDIT: Nextcloud doesn't generate logs. If you want it do that you must have following settings in config.php: # PARAMETERS 0: DEBUG: All activity; the most detailed logging. 1: INFO: Activity such as user logins and file activities, plus warnings, errors, and fatal errors. 2: WARN: Operations succeed, but with warnings of potential problems, plus errors and fatal errors. 3: ERROR: An operation fails, but other services and operations continue, plus fatal errors. 4: FATAL: The server stops.
"log_type" => "owncloud", "logfile" => "nextcloud.log", "loglevel" => "3", "logdateformat" => "F d, Y H:i:s",
  I thought because of some misconfiguration in cPanel this behavior was happening.
