On the machine which serves the public I installed a cronjob wich is looking for new events which might require interactions in /var/apache/error.log. That's why I'd like to store the errors there (database connection failures etc.)
To keep it simple I use this technique also for debugging purpose on my development machine. Anyway thanks for your thoughts Andreas.
