Re: Reports of ErrorLog.txt not being written in Linux
This WebDNA talk-list message is from 2000
It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 32062
interpreted = N
texte = Just made a clean install of 3.08.When using virtual hosts, WebCat tries to write the errors tovirtualhost/WebCatalog/ErrorLog.txt because that's where the ErrorTemplatewants it. So, unless you create a symlink in each virtual host home ormodify ErrorTemplate to walk the directory tree ([appendfile file=../../httpd/html/WebCatalog/ErrorLog.txt...) you won't get errors inErrorLog.txt. This is more a lack of documentation than a bug. TheErrorTemplate is somewhat explained in the doc but not in the context ofvirtual hosts.Also, when trying to view the error log through the admin interface, you getthe following error:ForbiddenYou don't have permission to access /WebCatalog/ErrorLog.txt on thisserver.The standard installation disables the access to the errorlog:
deny from allYou won't be able to view/clear the errorlog until you modify it:
Order deny,allowdeny from allallow from my.C.classThe original
is OK because it's very safe. The only problem isthat there is no mention of it in the docs eventhough ALL webmaster have tomake the change if they ever want to see the errors through the admin i/f.'Hope this helps.Clem.GHulbert@smithmicro.com wrote:> > We are having trouble duplicating a reported bug which people are> saying that the error log is not being written to under Linux.
