I have installed a PHP application onto a shared hosting web server. I am getting a 500 Internal Server Error. I don't seem to have access to any log files so I would like the error page to temporarily give details of the error.

try:

error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', '1');

at the top of the file.
