+      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.
