Changing location of error log file

Question

I want to change the location of the default log file, for example in php.ini:

error_log = /etc/var/php_error.log

Can I make this path absolute? And do I need to restart apache after doing this? Thanks!

Yes, you must restart server after changing path.

/etc/var/php_error.log is already an absolute path.

When you path start with / (for linux), that means its a absolute path. and as you making changes in configuration file of PHP, apache needs to be restarted when PHP is running as an Apache module.

You can change it at runtime in your application by using:

<?php
ini_set('error_log', $yourAbsolutePath);
