symfony 1.4 and Apache access/error logs - apache

Question

Symfony 1.4 is set up as the only virtual host in my Apache config. Should I make use of the Apache access logs and error logs or does symfony take care of both of these for me?

Answer 1

Apache logs are not the same as the logging provided by symfony. Apache logs are useful for other reasons than symfony's. I usually use the following virtual host config for my local development.
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName dev.yoursite.com.br
DocumentRoot "/home/you/dev/sfprojects/yoursite/web"
DirectoryIndex index.php
<Directory "/home/you/dev/sfprojects/yoursite/web">
AllowOverride All
Allow from All
</Directory>
Alias /sf /home/you/dev/sfprojects/yoursite/lib/vendor/symfony/data/web/sf
<Directory "/home/you/dev/sfprojects/yoursite/lib/vendor/symfony/data/web/sf">
AllowOverride All
Allow from All
</Directory>
ErrorLog "/home/you/dev/sfprojects/yoursite/log/error.log"
CustomLog "/home/you/dev/sfprojects/yoursite/log/web.log" combined
</VirtualHost>
For symfony, I configure the factories.yml like the following
dev:
logger:
class: sfAggregateLogger
param:
level: notice
loggers:
sf_file_err:
class: sfFileLogger
param:
level: err
file: %SF_LOG_DIR%/%SF_APP%_%SF_ENVIRONMENT%_error.log
sf_file_notice:
class: sfFileLogger
param:
level: notice
file: %SF_LOG_DIR%/%SF_APP%_%SF_ENVIRONMENT%_notice.log
