Question

I’m facing the following error:

Uncaught exception ‘Zend_Log_Exception’ with message file.log cannot be opened with mode “a”

In my bootstrap I have the following code:

$logfile = PROJECT_PATH . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR .'/tmp/logs/'.$config->app->logfile.'.log';

if (!file_exists($logfile))
{
  $fp = fopen($logfile, 'a');
  fclose($fp);
}

$redacteur = new Zend_Log_Writer_Stream($logfile);
$logger    = new Zend_Log($redacteur);

The full error page:

Put the right permission on the file: 0777.

Check if the directory /home/http/me.tv/fbapps/www/tmp/logs/ exists, then run this command in a terminal:

chmod 777 /home/http/me.tv/fbapps/www/tmp/logs/vengeance.log
