Zend debug.log

[tobimichigan]

Here  is my hierarchy:

 

data      -logs folder-debug.log

htdocs  -index.php

include  -Contollers,Smarty,Templater,Zend

templates

 

Now when I launch index.php from htdocs, I get this un-seeming error:

 

"Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Zend_Log_Exception' with message '"/var/htdocs/Books/practical_Web2.0/data/logs/debug.log" cannot be opened with mode "a"' in C:\xampp\php\PEAR\Zend\Log\Writer\Stream.php:69 Stack trace: #0 C:\xampp\htdocs\Books\practical_Web2.0\chapter-02\htdocs\index.php(11): Zend_Log_Writer_Stream->__construct('/var/htdocs/Boo...') #1 {main} thrown in C:\xampp\php\PEAR\Zend\Log\Writer\Stream.php on line 69 "

 

I went to the zend folder in xampp, php, pear, zend, log, writer.php dir and I found this:

 

/**

    * Class Constructor

    *

    * @param  streamOrUrl    Stream or URL to open as a stream

    * @param  mode            Mode, only applicable if a URL is given

    */

    public function __construct($streamOrUrl, $mode = 'a')

    {

        if (is_resource($streamOrUrl)) {

            if (get_resource_type($streamOrUrl) != 'stream') {

                require_once 'Zend/Log/Exception.php';

                throw new Zend_Log_Exception('Resource is not a stream');

            }

 

            if ($mode != 'a') {

                require_once 'Zend/Log/Exception.php';

                throw new Zend_Log_Exception('Mode cannot be changed on existing streams');

            }

 

            $this->_stream = $streamOrUrl;

        } else {

            if (! $this->_stream = @fopen($streamOrUrl, $mode, false)) {

                require_once 'Zend/Log/Exception.php';

                $msg = "\"$streamOrUrl\" cannot be opened with mode \"$mode\"";

                throw new Zend_Log_Exception($msg);

            }

        }

 

        $this->_formatter = new Zend_Log_Formatter_Simple();

    }

 

 

line 69 is =>throw new Zend_Log_Exception($msg);

 

What could be wrong?

Hint:

 

settings.conf

[development]

 

database.type      = pdo_mysql

database.hostname  = localhost

database.username  = root

database.password  =

database.database  = phpweb20

 

paths.base      = /var/htdocs/Books/practical_Web2.0

paths.data      = /var/htdocs/Books/practical_Web2.0/data

paths.templates = /var/htdocs/Books/practical_Web2.0/templates

 

logging.file = /var/htdocs/Books/practical_Web2.0/data/logs/debug.log

 

 

Any pointer as to why there is a fatal error?

Your server doesn't have permissions enough to write to /var/htdocs/Books/practical_Web2.0/data/logs. Make sure it can write to this directory.

Pls can you indicate how I can enable my localhost to do this?

[trq]

sudo chown apacheuser:apacheuser /var/htdocs/Books/practical_Web2.0/data/logs

 

Where 'apacheuser' is the account your server runs as.
