AMPPS not displaying errors? - php

I looked PHP.ini files but error mode is on there?
But when there is error in my code I cannot see php showing error??
I use local host called AMPPS.
And whenever there is error i see blank page like if i use:
require('something.php');
There is a blank page instead of showing fatal error or warnings.
I use CodeCanyon script. Can script change the error showing mode?
How can I display all there error even if it is small on as I am on development mode.

Can script change the error showing mode?
Yes, it can. For starters you can set this in your PHP file—before code like require('something.php');—to force errors to show:
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
But that said, if errors are not displayed at all, check your Apache logs in your setup. Unclear on where in AMPPS the logs would be stored—or what your host system running AMPPS is—but there should be a log in there somewhere.

http error 500 aws bitnami wordpress hosting [duplicate]

I am having an issue when I have a php application that is returning an internal server error (500) however nothing is showing up in the error log.
Now I know there are error with what I am trying to run, I know I have missing some files and what not but something should show in the apache error log (otherwise how are I supposed to know exactly what I am missing).
I created a test script is errors it in under the same vhost configuration and those error show up fine so everything seems configured right as far as php/apache. Are there certain php errors that does show up in the error log (php is configure to display any type of notice, warning, , error, fatal error, etc...)?
This is running on ubunut 10.04 with the standard apache and php from the ubuntu repo with apt-get.
Scan your source files to find #.
From php documentation site
Currently the "#" error-control operator prefix will even disable
error reporting for critical errors that will terminate script
execution. Among other things, this means that if you use "#" to
suppress errors from a certain function and either it isn't available
or has been mistyped, the script will die right there with no
indication as to why.
Copy and paste the following into a new .htaccess file and place it on your website's root folder :
php_flag display_errors on
php_flag display_startup_errors on
Errors will be shown directly in your page.
That's the best way to debug quickly but don't use it for long time because it could be a security breach.
If you still have 500 error and no logs you can try to execute from command line:
php -f file.php
it will not work exactly like in a browser (from server) but if there is syntax error in your code, you will see error message in console.
Maybe something turns off error output. (I understand that you are trying to say that other scripts properly output their errors to the errorlog?)
You could start debugging the script by determining where it exits the script (start by adding a echo 1; exit; to the first line of the script and checking whether the browser outputs 1 and then move that line down).
In the past, I had no error logs in two cases:
The user under which Apache was running had no permissions to modify php_error_log file.
Error 500 occurred because of bad configuration of .htaccess, for example wrong rewrite module settings. In this situation errors are logged to Apache error_log file.
For Symfony projects, be sure to check files in the project'es app/logs

How to debug 500 Error in Symfony 2
Btw, other frameworks or CMS share this kind of behaviour.
Here is another reason why errors might not be visible:
I had the same issue. In my case, I had copied the source from a production environment. Hence the ENVIRONMENT variable defined in index.php was set to 'production'. This caused error_reporting to be set to 0 (no logging). Just set it to 'development' and you should start seeing error messages in apache log.
Turned out the 500 was due to a semi colon missing in database config :-)
Another case which happened to me, is I did a CURL to some of my pages, and got internal server error and nothing was in the apache logs, even when I enabled all error reporting.
My problem was that in the CURL I set
curl_setopt($CR, CURLOPT_FAILONERROR, true);
Which then didn't show me my error, though there was one, this happened because the error was on a framework level and not a PHP one, so it didn't appear in the logs.
You need to enable the PHP error log.
This is due to some random glitch in the web server when you have a php error, it throws a 500 internal error (i have the same issue).
If you look in the PHP error log, you should find your solution.
see here in the doc of how to enable it in the php.ini
Be sure your file permissions are correct. If apache doesn't have permission to read the file then it can't write to the log.
What happened for me when this was an issue, was that the site had used too much memory, so I'm guessing that it couldn't write to an error log or displayed the error. For clarity, it was a Wordpress site that did this. Upping the memory limit on the server showed the site again.
SOLVED
I struggled with this and later on, I realized that I was working on PHP 5.6, so I upgraded to PHP 7.0, then I released there were comments placed by git for conflicting codes. I found something like this in my code <<<<<<<< But solved it.

Codeigniter Blank Screen - Failing to load welcome class

I am in the process of migrating codeigniter from centos to ubuntu and after moving the files, adjusting the config files, etc, I am getting the white screen of death. Debugging it, the code seems to die in CodeIgniter.php at
$CI = new $class();
where
$class = welcome
I have confirmed the MySQL is installed and running, both in PHP and on the command line. Additionally, I can't find codeigniter complaining about any errors in either my apache error logs or the codeigniter ones at application/logs. This is despite setting the logging threshold to 4 and setting display errors to true.
the only solution for this issue to find the php error logs,
check it on /var/logs/apache2/errors.log or if you use ssl /var/logs/apache2/ssl_errors.log
this is the default paths for php error log
please check your php error logs for getting the error message.
There's 3 solutions to know where's the problem.
1- Codeigniter offer logs for configure it
go to application/config.php
Change $config['log_threshold'] = 2; //for debug messages
Each request you can find the log messages in
application/logs/..
or
system/logs/..
Don't forget to switch it off after fix your issue by change it to 0 or 1 for display error messages only.
2- Or you can Enable development mode but i prefer the first solution.
if you want to switch to development mode edit index.php in the main project files and change ENVIRONMENT definition to 'development'
this option show errors on the site front.
3- Or you can check the PHP log errors in
/var/log/apache2/error.log
or
/var/log/apache2/ssl_error.log
if you using https

php script appears as a blank screen

I'm trying to run a php script on my website through my file manager but it just shows a white blank screen. I ran a couple of test php scripts on my file manager and runs well. The php script that runs a blank screen has been tested offline with WAMP and works fine, The php script involves connecting to a database which it does, uses simple_html_dom for web scraping and inserting to a database. Can someone please help. Surely if it works offline it should work online no error messages are showing
Turn on your error reporting first :
error_reporting(E_ALL);
It might be occurring because you have switched off the error_reporting and the connection is not being successful.
Check if your database connection credentials are correct.
If the problem still exists, refer to this page :
PHP Blank Screen - Solutions
Make your error reporting on by
error_reporting(E_ALL);
Also, please check php's error log file.
Every page crash is printed there.
Generally, in php folders of WAMP, XAMPP.
For XAMPP in Windows, the file location is:
xampp\php\logs\php_error_log

PHP website does not work, and nothing logged in the error log

I have a problem with PHP. There is an error that I have never encountered before. The home.php, which is the main page of my site, cannot be viewed. And there is nothing in error log. After there is an inclusion of a php page (a class that is a part of my API). Till that line the holl HTML (javascript and css inclusions) are echoed from php and successfully rendered in browser, but after the php kind of stops suddenly. When I delete that line(php page inclusion line), website works, but before, this inclusion didn't make any problem for me. I removed the code parts which after them I encountered this problem, but nothing works.
I am using Apache2, PHP5 with Ubuntu 11.10.
Any help will be appreciated, thanks in advance.
My first hints would be to check the following:
In your script set ini_set('display_errors', '1'); and error_reporting(E_ALL); to display all errors.
Turn on the php error log and check it for errors.
run php -l home.php on the command line to check your php file for syntax errors.
Check Apache's error log, sometimes error messages go there.
If nothing helps use a debbugger like XDebug to see where the script terminates, or alternative insert statements like die("here"); and move them around in your code, to see which parts of your scripts are passed.
Greetings and good luck.
