PHP error_log（）不会记录到php.ini中指定的文件

Question

I am using php5 with apache 2 on Ubuntu. I set the error_log in the php.ini to where I want php errors logged, and removed the ErrorLog directive from the apache virtual host configuration file.

PHP creates the file and logs to that file only when I use error_log() with the 3 argument version, adding the path to the log file as the third argument. But, when I use error_log() with a single string argument, it logs to the apache2 default error log.

Permissions seem to be fine. That is the only php.ini file used according to php -i.

Any idea what am I missing?

Thanks.

@CBore - Thanks that was exactly the problem. Once I viewed the output of phpinfo() from the webserver I saw it was using a different php.ini.

Thank you very much for pointing that out.
