   Wow_ took me a while to figure out where the error message was coming from:

   wp-db.php uses the error_log defined in the server's main php.ini !

   This is conflicting with our open_basedir policy, so i hardcoded the domain name log folder instead.

   I think this should definitely be fixed _ why not have a wordpress specific error log file, in txt format inside the wordpress installation config directory ?

   Hi Pixeline,

   I agree with you, could you please post your fix to make the error_log local to the wordpress path vs global eror_log.

   Very much appreciated,

   Tony

   well,

   open wp-includes/wp-db.php

   line 500 :

   $log_file = @ini_get('error_log');

   replace it with your own path:

   $log_file = '/var/www/pixeline/logs';

   i think the solution would be to let wordpress have its own errors.log file inside the main wordpress folder, easily accessible via the admin or via ftp for the administrator.
