How can I redirect stderr to error log?

On my local development machine, I catch and post errors to stderr, which is then redirected to my local error log. When I update my Site 5 site, there shouldn't be any errors ... but, of course there...

I’m just a regular user, but I can tell you what works for me:

slogin jimdscott.com -l jimdscot

Then I enter my password as prompted. Where jimdscott.com is the site Site5 hosts for me and jimscot is the username assigned to my primary account.

Thanks for taking the time to reply. The script isn’t intended to be run from the command line, so I expect you would always get an error trying to run it as a standalone script.

The error was actually a database permission issue. This was throwing a python error, which I was trying to catch and route to the Apache error log via writing to stderr. I understood that by default, anything written to stderr would be included in the Apache error log. This works on my Mint testing box, but doesn’t seem to work on the Site5 server.

I got around the issue by dumping the error into the JSON return value for the call. I was able to view the error in the JavaScript debugger and resolve the problem.
