@Sup3rkirbyJan 13.2015 — I just use the tail command and honestly I am not aware of any better way to do this.

I suppose a custom solution could always be built that watches the error log file and pushes updates to a page or app. But being able to make an SSH connection and tail the error log file just seems so much easier for basically the same result.

@stevedevauthorJan 17.2015 — usually the way but I tried an alternative. The approac: have the server provide you with a continually updated list of errors in realtime? As it turns out this is a quite easily done. The rest of this article shows how.

@NogDogJan 21.2015 — You can tell the error_log() function to send it as an email -- useful for specific error traps you want to know about. (Or just send it to a specific, separate error file if you don't want lots of email. ? )

Success!
