[gentoo-user] trying to find the cause of an http 500 error

[John Covici]

Hi folks.  I am running owncloud  which I like a lot, but for the past
few days I have been getting a 500 response when I try to  log in to
the server.

Now when I look at the apache logs I see nothing about the error, I
just get lines like this:
[Thu May 04 23:37:10.802948 2017] [ssl:info] [pid 14953] [client
192.168.0.2:50009] AH01964: Connection to child 2 established (server
ccs.covici.com:443)


Even if I set loglevel debug in my apache configuration, I don't get
any more about the 500 error, just a lot about ssl.

Now after a lot of googling, I am told that the reason for the 50
response is a php fatal error.  But I have log_errors as one in the
/etc/php/apache2-php5.6/php.ini and I have the errors logged to a file
/var/log/apache2/php_errors.log .  So, why are these fatal errors not
being logged?

In case of some crazy thing in owncloud turning off logging or
something, I wrote a program which triggers a fatal error  (I know
it does using the cli) and ran it under apache and nothing is being
logged.

So, the question is how to get it so I can see the fatal error, so I
can get my owncloud working again?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
