Error log file: Path?

[stefan_iv]

Hi,

i don´t want to get any error message via email, so i tried to switch on logging error in a simple log file.

I found that setting in the vbulletin options, error handling.

But one question: Should i use the full path means:

/var/www/....

or only /logs -> which is located in the root directory of my vbulletin.

Thanks very much!

BTW: What file rights should i use? 755 oder 777 for the folder?
