I think this is a FreeBSD problem. Here is what I have. 1. I removed my initial modification of /etc/syslog.conf, and added -> user.=info /var/log/php.log According to syslog.conf man page, that should mean, any syslog events that come is as LOG_USER, and only LOG_INFO, should be appended to /var/log/php.log 2. I HUPped syslogd. 3. Im using logger to try to add a message to the log file like -> gladiator# logger -s -p user.info test gsam: test But unfortunately, the message "test" doesn't appear in /var/log/php.log OR /var/log/messages. I currently have the file /var/log/php.log chmodded to 777. Im including my syslog.conf file. Can anyone tell me, as to why, Im unable to log these tests?
