   I am having a problem getting the debug mode operational.
   Entered the next at the bottom of the wp-config.php
   /* start debug settings in wp-config.php */
   @ini_set('display_errors',0);
   @ini_set('log_errors',1);
   define('WP_DEBUG', true); // Turn debugging ON
   define('WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY',false); // Turn forced display OFF
   define('WP_DEBUG_LOG', true); // Turn logging to wp-content/debug.log ON
   /* end debug settings */

   but the debug.log file is not created.

   What could be wrong?
   Thanks for yr support, Cees

   Where are you expecting the file to be?

   It should be in the wp-content directory (since we can generally assume that folder has write permissions - needed for uploads).

   See Nacins blog here.

   Point of interest.

   Hope that helps.. :)

   Thanks Mark for yr reply. Although very interesting links it did not helped me solving the issue.
   I do expect the debug.log file to be created in the wp_content directory. The folder has write permission, but for an unknown reason the file is still not created.
   I am puzzled.

   Seems to be working just fine for me.... :)

   Of course there needs to be errors occuring for the log to be created / updated..

   I changed the callback function name in an add_action for testing, eg..
   

   add_action('some_action','some_non_existant_function');

   Which produced a warning (i leave error display on), and the appropriate debug.log file was created, and note, i also tested with display errors set to false (to see if there was any difference, there wasn't - the file was created in both instances).
