Joomla 3.x. How to enable error reporting<\/a><\/p>\r\n

“Error Reporting”<\/strong> field in your Joomla Configuration Settings is responsible for controlling the display of errors on your Joomla website. <\/p>\r\n

On any production Joomla website, the error reporting should be set to “None”<\/strong>. This means that no errors are displayed on your website, regardless of the default settings on your hosting account.<\/p>\r\n

When Joomla is first installed, its default error reporting is “System Default”<\/strong>, this means that any error reporting in the global (or local) php.ini file will be inherited by your Joomla application.<\/p>\r\n

The error reporting should be changed from “None”<\/strong> to anything else only when you are seeing a blank page on your website and\/or you are debugging your website.<\/p>\r\n

It’s more practical to change the error reporting in Joomla configuration.php file<\/strong> directly.<\/p>\r\n

    \r\n
  1. \r\n

    First of all, open your cpanel file manager section<\/strong> and look for configuration.php<\/strong> file in the root of your public html <\/strong>folder:\r\n\t<\/p>\r\n

    \"Joomla_3.x_How_to_enable_error_reporting-1\"<\/a>\r\n<\/li>\r\n

  2. \r\n

    In configuration.php <\/strong>file look for this line: public $error_reporting = ‘default’<\/strong>:<\/p>\r\n

    \"Joomla_3.x_How_to_enable_error_reporting-2\"<\/a>\r\n<\/li>\r\n

  3. \r\n

    Instead of ‘default’<\/strong> you can set any numerical value of PHP error constants such as:<\/p>\r\n

    ‘E_ALL | E_STRICT’<\/strong> –\tAll errors, warnings, notices, and strict standards will be displayed on the website;<\/p>\r\n

    ‘E_ALL’<\/strong> – All errors, warnings, notices will be displayed on the website; <\/p>\r\n

    ‘E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE’<\/strong> – All errors, warnings, but no notices will be displayed on the website;<\/p>\r\n

    ‘E_ALL & ~(E_NOTICE|E_WARNING)’<\/strong> – All Errors. No warnings or notices will be displayed on the website;<\/p>\r\n

    ‘0’<\/strong> – No error reporting at all:<\/p>\r\n

    \t\"Joomla_3.x_How_to_enable_error_reporting-3\"<\/a>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n

    Error reporting will allow the administrator to have a more granular control over the level of errors on the site. <\/p>\r\n
