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 had a similar issue and had to do the following to the pool.d/www.conf file

php_admin_value[error_log] = /var/log/fpm-php.www.log
php_admin_flag[log_errors] = on

It still wasn't writing the log file so I actually had to create it by touch /var/log/fpm-php.www.log then setting the correct owner sudo chown www-data:www-data /var/log/fpm-php.www.log.

Once this was done, and php5-fpm restarted, logging was resumed.
