By default errors are set to error_log is set to /dev/null which means, it won't have error logging on. When errors are turned on will be stored in the directory the error occurs in. For example, if you have a PHP file called index.php in a subdirectory like public_html/wordpress, if you have any PHP errors in the index.php file of that location, the error log will be stored in that folder. You can specify in the php.ini what file to store all errors in.
Note:You can place the following code in the .htaccess to make the local php.ini work for the current directory where the .htaccess resides and all subdirectories beyond.
<IfModule mod_suphp.c>
suPHP_ConfigPath /home/USERNAME/public_html
</IfModule>
The IfModule makes Apache load the directive only if suPHP is used, so the site doesn't break if switched to another PHP handler such as DSO.
For more information on suPHP please see our article on Choosing the best PHP handler.
