PHP-FPM doesn't write to error log

Question

I\'ve just installed a nginx+php-fpm server. Everything seems fine except that PHP-FPM never writes error to its log.

fpm.conf

[default]
listen = /va         


        

Answer 1

I struggled with this for a long time before finding my php-fpm logs were being written to /var/log/upstart/php5-fpm.log. It appears to be a bug between how upstart and php-fpm interact. See more here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php5/+bug/1319595
