To set up Nginx to handle PHP-FPM custom error logs and log rotation, you'll need to follow these steps:
Edit the php-fpm.conf file: Open the PHP-FPM configuration file in a text editor, usually located at /etc/php-fpm.conf or /etc/php/7.x/fpm/php-fpm.conf. Uncomment and modify the following lines:
php_flag[display_errors] = off
php_admin_value[error_log] = /var/log/php-fpm/error.log
This will disable error display and set the error log file path to /var/log/php-fpm/error.log.
Create the error log directory: Create the directory where the PHP-FPM error log will reside. Run the following command:
sudo mkdir -p /var/log/php-fpm
Adjust the directory path if necessary based on your configuration.
Create a new Nginx server block: Open your Nginx configuration file for the site you want to handle PHP-FPM error logs. This file is typically located at /etc/nginx/sites-available/your-site.conf. Inside the server block, add the following lines:
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.x-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_param PHP_VALUE "error_log=/var/log/php-fpm/your-site.log";
...
}
Replace 7.x with your specific PHP version. Adjust the error log path and filename (your-site.log) as needed.
Create a logrotate configuration file: Create the logrotate configuration file /etc/logrotate.d/php-fpm with the following contents:
/var/log/php-fpm/*.log {
weekly
missingok
rotate 52
compress
delaycompress
notifempty
create 644 www-data www-data
}
This file will rotate the PHP-FPM error logs on a weekly basis.
Restart PHP-FPM and Nginx: After making the changes, restart PHP-FPM and Nginx to apply the new settings. Use the following commands:
sudo systemctl restart php7.x-fpm
sudo systemctl restart nginx
Replace 7.x with your specific PHP version.
Your Nginx should now be set up to handle PHP-FPM custom error logs and log rotation. Errors will be logged to the specified location, and log rotation will occur according to the logrotate configuration.
