Error_log being placed in multiple places

[MrBaseball34]

Why would I get an error_log file placed in the modules/paypal directory when there are errors occurring in OrderHistory or PaymentModule class?

I thought the path to the error_log file was set and not changed in PS. What do I need to look for?

The error_log file is placed in the working directory (the directory of the PHP file that is originally called). So if modules/paypal/validation.php is called, then the error_log will be in the modules/paypal directory, even it that script calls classes/PaymentModule.php and an error occurs in that file.

In my WAMP PHP.ini, there is this line:

error_log = "c:/wamp/logs/php_error.log"

Is that not applicable for Linux systems where all PHP error reporting gets thrown to one log file?

I don't use WAMP, so I'm not sure.
