I think this is a FreeBSD problem.
It's not.
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? Thanks
/etc/syslog.conf ---- # $FreeBSD: src/etc/syslog.conf,v 1.26 2003/04/23 13:08:31 des Exp $ # # Spaces ARE valid field separators in this file.

user.=info /var/log/php.log
This will only log user.info messages coming from the ppp program to /var/log/php.log. Either move the "user.=info" line up or finish the "!ppp" block with a "!*" line (see manpage).
I went over the man page, and I dont see any references about finishing program blocks. So Im taking your word for it. So after some trial runs, I've appended my syslog.conf like so -> !*
httpd user.=info /var/log/php.log
Now I can use the logger command to log to the file now. Plus, I can log to the file via php's syslog() function. The only thing bothering me, is the syntax of the program. If I use "!httpd", it doesn't log to the file. If anyone else has any input on this, I would be grateful.
