You can use  lsof  to find open logfiles on your system  lsof just gives you a list of all open files    Use grep for  log      use grep again for  php   if the filename contains the strings  log  and  php  like in  php error log  and you are root user you will find the files without knowing the configuration            root lnx-work    lsof  grep log             snip         gmain     12148 12274       user   13r      REG              252 1    32768     661814  home user  local share gvfs-metadata home-11ab0393 log         gmain     12148 12274       user   21r      REG              252 1    32768     662622  home user  local share gvfs-metadata root-56222fe2 log         gvfs-udis 12246             user  mem       REG              252 1    55384     790567  lib x86 64-linux-gnu libsystemd-login so 0 7 1    gt  apache 12333             user  mem       REG              252 1    55384     790367  var log http php error log               snip                  root lnx-work    lsof  grep log  grep php            apache 12333             user  mem       REG              252 1    55384     790367  var log http php error log               snip    Also see this article on finding open logfiles  Find open logfiles on a linux system

This is a preferable answer in most use cases  because it allows you to decouple execution of the software from direct knowledge of the server platform  which keeps your code much more portable  If you are doing a lot of cron cgi  this may not help directly  but it can be set into a config at web runtime that the cron cgi scripts pull from to keep the log location consistent in that case     You can get the current log file assigned natively to php on any platform at runtime by using   ini get  error log      This returns the value distributed directly to the php binary by the webserver  which is what you want in 90  of use cases  with the glaring exception being cgi   Cgi will often log to this same location as the http webserver client  but not always   You will also want to check that it is writeable before committing anything to it to avoid errors  The conf file that defines it s location  typically either apache conf globally or vhosts conf on a per-domain basis   but the conf does not ensure that file permissions allow write access at runtime

For unix cli users   Most probably the error log ini entry isn t set  To verify   php -i   grep error log    error log   gt  no value   gt  no value   You can either set it in your php ini cli file  or just simply quickly pipe all STDERR yourself to a file     myprog 2 gt  myerror log   Then quickly    tail -f myerror log
