PHP error logs keep moving and renaming?

HappyFeat

Is it just me or do other people's PHP error logs keep changing locations and file names?

I have a page inside my application where I manage these logs and I have to keep updating it to keep up with the changes.

The latest change is in the file name.

At the end of August it was xxx_xxx_xx.php.error.log (each part of the domain separated by an underscore) now it's xxx_xxx.xx.php.error.log (the sub domain part separated from the gtld by an underscore and then the parts of the gtld itself separated by dots.

    Hey there!  It's always helpful to know which version of cPanel you're running for issues like this, but the most relevant change I could find happened in version 136 as part of case CPANEL-48069:

    • Fixed CPANEL-48069: Automatically configure PHP error logging to ~/logs/php.error.log for all newly created domains.
    • Fixed CPANEL-48069: Allow PHP error logging directives (error_log, log_errors, error_log_mode) to be configured in MultiPHP INI Editor Basic Mode.

    This would be present in all versions of 136 as it made its way through the tiers.

    So I would say that yes, this is expected on a version 136 machine, although I don't have a good explanation for your August date unless that's when your cPanel update happened.  You could check this with the following commands to try and isolate that specific change:

    /usr/local/cpanel/cpanel -V
grep -rn error_log /opt/cpanel/ea-php*/root/etc/php-fpm.d/
ls -l --time-style=long-iso /home/*/logs/*php.error.log
