You get this error when you’ve enabled error logging but you haven’t made the error log file (application/logs/errors.log) writable by the server. A good rule of thumb is that the same permissions set for the “files” folder should be set for the log file.

If you just now enabled error logging to try to track down an error message, this probably isn’t your “real” problem.
