I am on shared hosting and have cPanel, Apache, and PHP is run by FastCGI. Where does PHP store the error log?
Is there another way I can find the error log on a shared hosting environment instead of having to go through entire site structure to look for error_log files?
I have access to the php.ini file (I am using PHP version 5.2.16).

PHP stores error logs in /var/log/apache2 if PHP is an apache2 module. Shared hosts are often storing log files in your root directory /log subfolder. But...if you have access to a php.ini file you can do this:
According to rinogo's comment: If you're using cPanel, the master log file you're probably looking for is stored (by default) at
If all else fails you can check the location of the log file using
error_log = /var/log/php-scripts.logAccording to rinogo's comment: If you're using cPanel, the master log file you're probably looking for is stored (by default) at
/usr/local/apache/logs/error_logIf all else fails you can check the location of the log file using
<?php phpinfo(); ?>
Linux
The terminal will output the error log location.
Windows
The command prompt will output the error log location.
To set the log location
Open your php.ini and add the following line:
php --info | grep errorThe terminal will output the error log location.
Windows
php --info | findstr /r /c:"error_log"The command prompt will output the error log location.
To set the log location
Open your php.ini and add the following line:
error_log = /log/myCustomLog.log
It is possible that php is not currently logging anything. If that's the case, you can open your php.ini, and set error_reporting to E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED & ~E_STRICT, or whatever errors you want to see, then set error_log to the path to the directory where you want your errors to get logged. (Note: this is not a full path to a file, just to a directory.)
