you could delete the file and apache will re-create it.

Get a better text file editor.

ConText or Edit Plus will handle much larger files than notepad.

You cant delete that error.log unless you stop apache. There should be a control in the start menu for it.

As I said before - you dont need to delete it. Get a proper text program such as editplus or context - they will handle 100mb txt files.

You should turn on display_errors in the php.ini so if there are any errors in your PHP scripts they will be shown when you run the scripts, this saves you having to look in the error log. Also what I tend to do is setup PHP to use its own error log file instead of Apaches error log, this is done by turning on log_errors and setting up the error_log directive.

Another thing I tend to do is to empty the error log at the end of each month or before it gets too large.

Hi wildteen

  I was turn on display_errors in the php.ini . How to setup PHP to use its own error log file instead of Apaches error log?
Now where should I go and have a look for PHP coding error? I mean which folder contain that PHP-error log file.

Thanks to you

You create the file your self and then you tell PHP where to log the files to.

So ifyou ahve PHP installed in the root of the hard drive (C:) in a folder called PHP (C:/PHP) and you created a php.log file in that folder for logging PHP errors, then you'll setup the error_log directive like so:
[code]error_log = "C:/PHP/php.log"

Now wehen you save the php.ini and restart the server PHP should now log its error in php.log file in C:/PHP (not make sure log_errors directive is turned On for PHP to log its errors in the log file you just setup).[/code]
