error.php write to log :: Archived

The email feature is a good idea except you get bombarded with email The following is a mod to write to file:
find line 6

PHP:

$email = false;

replace with

PHP:

$email = false;
$error_log = true;

find line 91

PHP:

    if ($email) notify();

replace with

PHP:

    if ($email) notify();
	if ($error_log) cpg_error_log();

at the end of the filee find

Code::

?>

replace with:

Code::

function cpg_error_log(){
   global $notify, $sitename, $notifyfrom,$errorCode;
    $date = date('D M j G:i:s T Y');
    $message = "
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Error Code:\t {$_SERVER['REDIRECT_STATUS']} ({$_SERVER['REDIRECT_ERROR_NOTES']})
Occurred:\t$date
Requested URL:\t{$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']}
User Address:\t{$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']}
User Agent:\t{$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']}
Referer:\t{$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']}
------------------------------------------------------------------------------";
	$fp = fopen( "cpg_error.log", "a" ) or die("couldn't open");
	flock( $fp, LOCK_EX ); // exclusive lock
    // write to the file
    fwrite( $fp, $message );
	flock( $fp, LOCK_UN ); // release the lock
	fclose( $fp );
	}
?>

create a blank file in your root called cpg_error.log and chmod 722

Just out of curiosity... Is there a reason this wasn't "write to a database log?" (cms_errorlog)??

When I get hit over 150 times in a minute, I know I don't want my db going into overdrive! I'd much rather a text file get written to. Plus, it's much easier to get rid of, IMO.

Will this be an option in config?

I personally prefer the email, since I farm that process off server.
But I certainly see your point kegobeer Exclamation

Thanks

did you go to error.php to enable the error log or did you manually make edits? if the latter undo then and just go to error.php, the feature should already be there.

you do not need to edit files you simply need to setup the proper values in error.php

PHP:

$notify = 'myname@website.com';
$notifyfrom = 'webmaster@website.com';
$returnsite = 'http://www.website.com';
$email = false;
# to use this you must create cpg_error.log
# and chmod cpg_error.log 722
$error_log = true;
$sitename = 'My Web Site';
$returnLink = 'Please <a href="'.$returnsite.'">click here</a> to return to the homepage.';
$image = '/images/error.gif';

oh well oke.. i see.. i thought some other kind of message was returning to the screen then

A billion websites, and you had to pick this one.
My Web Site Error 403
Access to the URL that you requested, /config.php, is forbidden.
(client denied by server configuration)
Please click here to return to the homepage.

something like ... we have been loging your ip and will send it to.... blablba... but .. i gues this is only in the email variant enabled.. ?? not the file logging enabled. ....
well it seems to work after i made an empty file with the name cpg_error.log so thanx for your fast reply Smile
