your.syndrome Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Hi, I'm using WordPress on one of my sites and it's generating a 2GB file size of the error log and using up the disk space. Is there any short term fix to stop the error log building up? I think it may be down to the amount of plugins and multiple languages being added ( via plugins ) Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/145968-error-log-crashing-server-due-to-file-size/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
