Massive Error Logs and Suhosin Errors

Frank,

Just comment out suhosin.so. The only reason you are doing it is to get rid of your errors/warnings so your logs stop filling up. Right now Suhosin is not working for you, so there is no reason to keep that uncommented and cause the errors.

;Extension = suhosin.so, timezone.so
Extension = timezone.so

That's what I would do. Then, Michael suggested that you uninstall/reinstall using his instructions. If all goes well, Suhosin will be compiled, suhosin.so will be put in the proper extensions directory, and an Extension line for suhosin.so will be automatically added into the php.ini and you'll be good to go.

Frank,

You're welcome. There are ways to remove specific lines from each and every error_log (so as not to delete the actual full log) - Unfortunately, I can't tell you how to do it -- I'd have to research it. And I'm sure such a task would take significant time to run on a server with lots of error_log fluff.

Any of the options I give you below are likely to take some time before they give the commandline prompt back to you because it is searching a large section of the filesystem for files.

To delete all files named error_log, forcefully, within the /home directory structure you can use the following. Since it's using rm -f, you should decide if you want to do it. I take no responsibility if you accidentally do something that deletes all of your filesystem

Code:

find /home -type f -name error_log | xargs rm -f

I'd be careful of that one above. Do you really want to remove every error_log in your customer's directories? Some of them may actually make use of their error_log for troubleshooting.

Maybe you should look at the size of them all first. Here's a line that will pipe a directory listing of all error_logs within /home to a file /root/errorlogs.txt. You can then view /root/errorlogs.txt with vi, nano, less, more, whatever.

Code:

find /home -type f -name error_log | xargs ls -alt > /root/errorlogs.txt

Thanks for that The " " so that it only matchs "error_log" and not "thisisnotanerror_log.txt". And, well, the -delete saves a step and is less likely to remove something you dont want remove if you accidentally type something additional in my rm -f command.

As usual, I do the same thing, the same way, for years -- a creature of habit, when there are often more efficient, safer and sensible ways to do it. But I'll have to adopt the "-delete" and the "" around the filename.
