The logging handler 'file' is invalid

[Sorin Gheorghiu]

Hello SSP team,

It seems that since 1.15.0 the logging.handler' => 'file' isn't supported, here the error:

Exception encountered, of type "Exception"
[227fb1b9513f1648efd3013e] /kim/index.php/Spezial:PluggableAuthLogin Exception from line 378 of /var/simplesamlphp/lib/SimpleSAML/Logger.php: The logging handler 'file' is invalid.

'file' is still supported. However the release also supports specifying a class name to use for logging, which SSP looks at first.

You must have non-namespaced class call 'file' which SSP is finding when it calls class_exists.

You should be able to work around this by explicitly setting the handler to 'SimpleSAML\Logger\FileLoggingHandler'

SSP has moved to using name spaces for numerous classes instead of the
underscore_ naming convention.
If you have code or use modules that make use of the old naming
convention you'll get the warning. It doesn't indicate anything is
wrong.
I suspect in some future release ( > 1.15) the old names will no
longer be supported.
