+ Bugzilla can also log all user-based errors (and many code-based errors)
+ that occur, without polluting the web server error log. To enable
+ Bugzilla error logging, create a file that Bugzilla can write to, named
+ <filename>errorlog</filename>, in the Bugzilla <filename>data</filename>
+ directory. Errors will be logged as they occur, and will include the type
+ of the error, the IP address and username (if available) of the user who
+ triggered the error, and the values of all environment variables; if a
+ form was being submitted, the data in the form will also be included.
+ To disable error logging, delete or rename the
+ <filename>errorlog</filename> file.
