Huge error_log file...

[312erik123]

Hello,

Just noticed that the error_log file in my production site has become huge (14 GB). What can cause it to balloon that much? Is it safe to delete it?

Thanks  

Erik

You will find some interesting things inside (if you have enough ram and notepad++) 😄

Download it, delete it from the server and wait couple of days, then open the new error_log and see what is pumping lines.

Also a useful module to see those (and many more) in backoffice is "Collect PHP Logs" module. You can find it your list, install and keep it installed.

I bet you switched php versions recently (or your hosting did and you don't know about it).

@the.rampage.rado Many thanks for your tips. My site was under a SPAM-attack for a couple of days. With that taken care of the newly generated file is not growing in size the same way. Also found a few bugs in my code with the "Collect PHP Logs" module. 

Now it's mostly the litespeed module that generates "Deprecated" messages...maybe I'll send them an email and see if they want to update the module.

Regarding the listespeed module check here: https://github.com/litespeedtech/lscache_prestashop/issues/57 With those fixes those deprecations are no more but there are 2 more errors under php8 for me.

The exact same as me. I’ve sent them an email and they replied that a dev would look at it. Which I guess is far from a promise.

I also get this error occasionally:

Error: Call to a member function getParam() on string

 

modules/litespeedcache/controllers/front/esi.php line 94

which I also sent to them. But I see that you’ve already made a bug report on their GitHub about it!

Yes, they invest time and developers in the Wordpress module as it makes them money, the one of PS/thirtybees is far far less popular unfortunately and we have to deal with that. 🙂 

[312erik123]

Yeah I guess.

I’m experiencing some weird issues with module, so I had to disable it. For example when using Safari, if I press the add to cart button on a product page, I’m redirected to the cart, but the cart is empty…have you had similar issues?

[the.rampage.rado]

Nope, it's working for me.

Here's my setup. Try playing with guest mode. I had some issues with it but not related to the cart.

Here you probably have not touched anything but:
