I'm having problem with a site installed with Acquia Dev Desktop, but I can't find the php_error.log file to see the errors. There is nothing inside the DevDesktop folder and I can't see anything in the Software Preference.

Where is the php_error.log file in Acquia Dev Desktop?

  • Have you tried looking through the error log provided by Drupal UI? – No Sssweat Jun 16 '17 at 4:55
  • @NoSssweat the site shows the error message that only says that there is a problem in all the pages – Adrian Cid Almaguer Jun 16 '17 at 12:55
  • Did you add this line $config['system.logging']['error_level'] = 'verbose'; to your settings.php file? – No Sssweat Jun 16 '17 at 17:06

Just checked in my installation of DevDesktop and found that my PHP logs are located in /Applications/DevDesktop/apache/logs/error_log.

Although it says Apache logs, PHP errors get logged there as well.

You can find the log locations via 'Preferences' => 'Logs'. DevDesktop version 2 (Apr 13, 2017).

I found the solution, you need to search the php.ini file inside the php version folder that you are using. Open the file and search for this line:

;error_log = php_errors.log

Delete the ; to activate the error logging, then you will have:

error_log = php_errors.log

Save the file and restart your server and the file will be created in your site root folder.
