 * I am encountering the error below in the admin dashboard after following the 
   instructions for setting up a php_errors.log file in the so-named link. Is the
   absolute path I used incorrect? I have adjusted it several ways, but w/out success.
   I also gave both user & group r-w-e permissions.
    “ The log file [http://www.ahy4life.com/public_html/update_20121008/php-errors.log](http://www.ahy4life.com/public_html/update_20121008/php-errors.log)
   does not exist or is inaccessible.
 * To enable error logging, create an empty file named “php-errors.log”. Place it
   in a directory that is not publicly accessible (preferably outside your web root)
   and ensure it is writable by the web server. Then add the following code to wp-
   config.php:
 * ini_set(‘log_errors’, ‘On’);
    ini_set(‘error_log’, ‘/full/path/to/php-errors.
   log’);
