Disable error_log globally, but allow users to enable it

[Razva]

Hello,

I've just found that some of my clients have buggy scripts that generate HUGE error_log files (like 5-8 error_logs).

I would like to disable the error_log by default, so no error_log is created.

Still, if a client would like to debug his script, he should have the option for enabling it for his website.

NOTE: we're using suPHP.

Is this possible?

Thanks!

Someone will correct me if I'm wrong here but I believe you could add a custom php.ini to the users root with this in it to disable logging:
error_log = ""

Ok, so users that should ENABLE error_log should have

error_log = ""

in their php.ini?

Isn't php.ini disabled in suPHP (just asking, I remember something about php.ini and suPHP)?

What about the others? How can I globally disable error_log?

Thanks!

Actually, to globally disable it, put into the /usr/local/lib/php.ini file the following:

log_errors = Off

It would typically be set to On initially. After that, you might want to restart Apache.

As for suPHP, individual php.ini files are supported by default. As such, a user wanting to keep getting error reporting should put into their php.ini in public_html:

log_errors = On

For those users, copy the full /usr/local/lib/php.ini file to their account, then change the setting for log_errors in the file.
