Topic: PHP not working (error reporting disabled by default (5.6))

[Guck Puppy]

For anybody trying to debug PHP stuff, be aware that in

/etc/e-smith/templates/etc/php.ini/30ErrorHandling

display_errors          = Off

meaning you don't see a damn thing about why PHP things are going wrong.

Of course, it does get logged to the system log, so you're not left completely in the dark...

I agree that by default php should atleast display errors... I just turned it on myself though... no biggie, but it might be good to change the default.

Right... that's quite nice if you do :

tail -f /var/log/messages | grep "httpd: PHP"

from the shell...

Thanks for the tip Dan.

No need to go to the shell. There is a search and highlight option in the log file viewer panel.

Yes, but as there's no "auto-refresh" in the log viewer panel, I have to go get the results - tailing gives me them as they happen...

I've asked for auto-refreshing in the wishlist though.

Why don't you try to implement it yourself?

[Hopefully people understand that the wishlist is a sharing place of ideas that anyone might implement. There's no way we can provide all that's requested there.]

This wouldn't be possible via a custom template fragment though... would it?

This is core SME perlmagick/formagick stuff... right? Would it end up as an rpm?
