Important Note on composer update and composer require

Please note that the following file and code in monolog package are manually updated, that's because VIP doesn't allow us to use the original code that executes mkdir. If you ever need to run composer update or composer require, then its function gets overwritten, please restore the code as below in this function.

File: vendor/monolog/src/Monolog/Handler/StreamHander.php

Code to restore:

private function createDir()
{
    throw new \Exception('createDir is not allowed');
}
