I recognize that this is old news for some, but I've finally had reason to use the Growl module for Drupal. Getting fast reporting of logged errors is really handy without having to flip through tabs to find out what thing I just broke. There are not any instructions with the module, but it is easy enough to get it up and running. The real trick is making sure that you have the grownotify script in the correct place. Using this on your localhost is probably the simplist way to go given you will need to negotiate firewalls and IPs if you are trying to debug a remote server.
- Download and install Growl application.
- In the Extras directory, you will need to copy the growlnotifier script somewhere, or just run the installer script. I keep this in my local src directory:
- cp -r /Volumes/Growl-1.1.5/Extras/growlnotify ~/src
- cd ~/src/growlnotify/
- sh install.sh
Once you have the Drupal Growl module installed and enabled, you're good to go- you can set your notification level at: admin/settings/logging/growl
Update: to get a log of your apache/php errors you can do something like what is suggested here: http://gorn.ch/archive/2007/01/10/tail-f-to-growl.html
