Installing Joomla 4 and set Display Errors

Post by jumler1 » Thu Oct 24, 2024 5:12 am

I'm trying to install Joomla 4, but I can't set off Display Errors setting (look attachment joomla.jpg).

In PHP.INI is that field 'Off' (look attachment php.jpg).

How to turn off that?

but won't it will display PHP errors - not ideal..... the other related setting is "error_reporting" in php.ini should have a setting of "default" or something like that.

What server are you on - a local server (like XAMPP or WAMPServer) or your web hosting? You should be able to check on your live host, the php settings in cPanel. If this is a localhost, did you restart the web server services?

Yes, I did like that, but I want to know what is happening :)

Look at attachments, how to set up this "error_reporting"?

I'm on local server XAMPP. Yes, I restart web server services.

@jumler1, are you editing the right php.ini file, for example c:\wamp64\bin\apache\apache2.4.58.1\bin\php.ini?

Click the Wampserver icon in the System Tray, select PHP from the Wampserver menu, then select php.ini [apache module] from the PHP menu and edit that php.ini file using Notepad++ or your default text editor.

Oops, my mistake. You are using XAMPP, not Wampserver.

Check if the main Joomla folder has its own php.ini file or maybe even a file called .user.ini.

Check also the main Joomla folder if it has an .htaccess file. It may contain a statement like:

Code: Select all

php_flag display_errors On

Unfortunately, there is none of that.

When installing Joomla 4, ensure your server meets the minimum requirements, including PHP version and database support. Once installed, you can enable error display for debugging by accessing the configuration.php file in the Joomla root directory. Set public $error_reporting = 'maximum'; and public $display_errors = '1';. This will help in troubleshooting any issues during development. Remember to disable error display on live sites for security reasons!
