apache-2.2linuxPHPUbuntu
I have a development server with Apache 2.2.8 /PHP 5.2.4 on Ubuntu Server 8.04. Sometimes my php code returns an Internal server 500 error instead of outputting the errors to the page.
The Apache error.log contains no entries regarding the 500 error and the access.log only contains the one line referencing that the 500 error occurred. In php.ini error_reporting = E_ALL and display_errors = On.
How do I get Apache or PHP to display the error on the page instead of a generic 500 error.
Just to double check, do you have logging set to error_reporting = E_ALL, and display_errors = On in your php.ini? Usually this is enough to display these errors in IIS 7.
Next, take a look at your IIS settings, as it may be set to only show error messages locally. In the IIS 7 configuration editor this is under system.webServer->httpErrors. You will need to change errorMode to Detailed from DetailedLocalOnly. Obviously this now means anyone browsing your site will be able to see the error.
Alternatively, if you want to keep them local you can use Remote Desktop to log in to the server and run the app from there, if you can.
Did you restart IIS/Apache after making those changes?
