Laravel 5 logging to /var/log/apache2 instead of Storage
Yes, I know v5 is an old version, I plan to update it.
When anything is written to the error log, it gets put in /var/log/apache2. This hasn't been a problem so far but now I want to look in the log programatically and Laravel doesn't have permission to read there. Everything I've read online says it should be logging to storage/logs but that folder is empty. Where can I find where the log is configured?
Or is it that there's an error when it tries to log to Storage, and so the error of the error is getting put in log/apache2?

In app.php It's pulling the LOG field from the .env file which is set to 'errorLog'

Mode errorLog will store the logs in the server logs, try to use single or daily.
single mode is for a single log file, where all logs will be stored. daily mode is for log files per day, where the logs for each day will be stored in their own log file
