clear log files

Postby eyni » 11. May 2022 15:43

Hi,

I was developing some small php programs (actually my first ones), logging many errors. So my php_error_log file is totally full now (didn't realise it soon enough) taking up all the memory of the XAMPP server (almost 14GB !).
So I need to clear it in order to write, install or do anything.
The only problem:
The file is locked. Only daemon has the permissions to write.
I tried sudo chown in Terminal but I don't seem to have the permissions for that either.
I tried changing the User (and Group) in httpd.conf but after that, Apache wouldn't start at all.

I guess this isn't the first time someone runs into this problem?
I have already spend several hours on this, help would be very appreciated!
