title: PHP error_log() not writing to log - OSX El Capitan
body: <p>I'm having a beast of a time trying to get my PHP error_log() calls to actually log anything. I'm using OSX El Capitan, all the latest updates installed (I'm on 10.11.4 right now), but the error_log() calls just refuse to write anything.</p>
  
  <p>Here's how I have my httpd-vhosts.conf set up:</p>
  
  <pre><code>NameVirtualHost *:80
  
  &lt;VirtualHost local.mysite:80&gt;
  ServerAdmin myfakeemailaddress@noneofyour.biz
  DocumentRoot "/Volumes/Coding/mysite/"
  ServerName local.mysite:80
  &lt;directory "/Volumes/Coding/mysite/"&gt;
  Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
  AllowOverride All
  Order allow,deny
  Allow from all
  Require all granted
  &lt;/directory&gt;
  php_value error_log "/Volumes/Coding/mysite/error.log"
  CustomLog "/Volumes/Coding/mysite/access.log" common
  &lt;/VirtualHost&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The error.log file's permissions are such that anybody in the freakin' universe can do whatever they freakin' want with it, so it's not a permissions issue.</p>
  
  <p>The php.ini file confirms that the error log file is exactly where it's specified above.</p>
  
  <p>I'm using CodeIgniter 3. In the config.php file, I have these lines:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$config['log_threshold'] = 4;
  $config['log_path'] = '/Volumes/Coding/mysite/error.log';
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The "mysite" folder also has its permissions set to allow writing.</p>
  
  <p>So what else should I be checking?</p>
