How to turn on magento error messages?
I have installed Magento Community edition and tried creating my first simple hello world module. After a few hours I finally got it working.
My issues were I had used incorrect casing in some of the XML tags.
While trying to get it to work I tried to load the page a not found message was displayed, but no error.
I have switched errors on in the admin control panel System > Configuration > Developer > Log Settings and wrote a line which I know should have thrown an error but I just got a blank screen
- How do I get errors to display in Magento?
- Is it considered an error when I use incorrect casing in an xml file or is that an issue where I would not receive an error message? And if that is the case how would I quickly find the file that is causing the issue (obviously not a problem at the moment, but I can imagine as the module become functional it will be hard to find a single casing issue that is causing the problem)
Answer
For enable error reporting
In Index page change the following:
error_reporting(E_ALL | E_STRICT);
to
error_reporting(E_ALL);
Set $_SERVER['MAGE_IS_DEVELOPER_MODE'] = true
and uncomment this line
#ini_set('display_errors', 1);
In Errors folder rename local.xml.sample to local.xml.
hope this help.
