PHP error logging does not work via .htaccess

I need to have all PHP errors logged to a file on my centOS box. I think I'm doing everything I'm supposed to. Here's my .htaccess file:

php_flag display_errors off
php_flag log_errors On
php_flag error_log /var/www/vhosts/hostname/logs/fo_errors.log

• In my php.ini, I have error_reporting=E_ALL set.


• Apache does parse .htaccess


• /var/www/vhosts/hostname/logs/fo_errors.log has owner set to apache:apache and has write permissions.

I'm out of ideas.. can anyone help?

Thanks

You probably want to use php_value not php_flag when you set the log path. php_flag is only used for setting boolean configuration properties.

php_flag display_errors off 
php_flag log_errors On 
php_value error_log /var/www/vhosts/hostname/logs/fo_errors.log
