Creating PHP error log issue

PortStone · Apr 25, 2018

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,

Thank you,

Doesn't generates new lines if I visit the site

(https://www.xxx.xxxxxxx.xx/ isn't the cloud btw.)

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:

PHP error logs
cPanel PHP Error log empty

Thank you,

error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE standard from cPanel. Changing it to error_reporting = E_ALL doesn't generate traffic either.

Hi @PortStone

Would you happen to be using PHP-FPM? It uses it's own error reporting which can be seen at

Code:

/usr/local/cpanel/logs/php-fpm/error.log

or

Code:

/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,

I used PHP-FPM the whole time, didn't knew this had their logs on another path.

/usr/local/cpanel/logs/php-fpm/error.log:

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:

Code:

[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:

Code:

# 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:

Code:

# 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

PortStone · Apr 26, 2018

Code:

# egrep 'error_log = |log_errors = |error_reporting = ' /opt/cpanel/ea-php71/root/etc/php.ini
error_reporting = E_ALL
log_errors = On
;error_log = php_errors.log
;error_log = syslog
error_log = php_error_log

Code:

# grep error /opt/cpanel/ea-php71/root/etc/php-fpm.d/cloud.mydomain.tld.conf
php_admin_flag[log_errors] = on
php_admin_value[error_log] = /home/$user/logs/cloud_mydomain_tld.php.error.log
php_value[error_reporting] = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE

cPanelLauren · Apr 26, 2018

Great! Can you tell me if the log here is populated:

Code:

/home/$user/logs/cloud_mydomain_tld.php.error.log

PortStone · Apr 26, 2018

Code:

# /home/$user/logs/mydomain.tld.php.error.log
-bash: /home/$user/logs/mydomain.tld.php.error.log: No such file or directory

normal logs are created:

Code:

cloud.mydomain.tld-Apr-2018.gz
cloud.mydomain.tld-ssl_log-Apr-2018.gz

cPanelLauren · Apr 26, 2018

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

Code:

/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,

PortStone · Apr 26, 2018

Hello,

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

cPanelLauren · Apr 26, 2018

Hi @PortStone

Please use the link in my signature top open a ticket, I think it will be easier to take a closer look if we're able to access the system.

Once it's open please update this thread with the ticket ID

Thank you,

PortStone · Apr 26, 2018

Hello,

Ticket ID: 9470499

cPanelLauren · Apr 26, 2018

Thanks @PortStone I'll update the thread with the outcome of the ticket once it's complete.

PortStone · Apr 26, 2018

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:

Code:

# 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.

Code:

"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.
