From: "Malka Cymbalista" on 16 May 2010 07:39 Hi all, we are running Apache 2.2.6 and PHP 5.2.6 on a Linux machine. If someone gets an error when displaying a php web page, he does not get any error message on the screen. The arror is written into the apache error log file, but most users don't have access to the apache error logand i would like the user to see the error on the screen. Is there anything I can do? thanks for any help. Malka Cymbalista Webmaster, Weizmann Institute of Science malki.cymbalista(a)weizmann.ac.il 08-934-3036

Also, there may be some application specific setting, like in Drupal, you can configure whether the errors are written to the dblog or dblog and screen. -- Nilesh Govindarajan Site & Server Administrator www.itech7.com मेरा भारत महान ! मम भारत: महत्तम भवतु !

Look for the display_errors flag and set it to on. Just above or below that line should be another which determines the exact type of errors to display. The documentation within the ini file itself should show you some examples. Thanks, Ash http://www.ashleysheridan.co.uk

This also creates an error log in the working dir. |
