Error_log file just grow up

[bosss]

Thanks ... but good software like vbulletin should not have real issues...

Of course you will have a few issues, there isnt any forum software that has 0 issues.
In this case you can avoid large log files in a number of different ways, such as turning off php logging, or commenting out the mentioned line.

In Beta 5 the extra logging wont be active by default, you will have to turn it on.
Just to clarify one other point, this has no visible effect, nor can it cause database errors - its purely extra logging (mostly notices) to the php log file.

I just upgraded to 4.2.3 Beta 4 and my error logs are filling extremely fast with the following:

Those lines are the following:

if ($bit['intperm'])
                {
                    $tempdata["$bit[name]"]['intperm'] = $bit['intperm'];
                }
                if ($bit['install'])
                {
                    $tempdata["$bit[name]"]['install'] = explode(',', $bit['install']);
                }
                if ($bit['default'])
                {
                    $tempdata["$bit[name]"]['default'] = true;
                }

Same issue as the previous ones. It will be resolved by commenting out the line previously mentioned in this thread. it is in class_core.php

error_log("VB PHP Error: $errstr in $errfile on line $errline");

Or apply my fix above.

This should be turned into a toggle setting within the admincp, so that when we upgrade, we won't have to repeat this step.

Edit, nvm, neither of those solutions works on 4.2.5

All development on vB4 has ended, so there's will be no changes. Anything new would go into vB5 now.
