Enable Error Messages

Sometimes it's helpful to be able to track down problematic issues in TYPO3 by viewing any error messages that may be generated.

1. To change the error reporting levels in TYPO3, begin by using the Install Tool.
2. You are likely to get a security notice. Click on OK to continue.
3. Next, login to the Install Tool. If you haven't changed the Install Tool password, it is joh316. If you have, changed it, then use the current password to gain access.
4. Click on the All Configuration option in the menu and then scroll down to the sqlDebug option.
5. Put a check in the Check Box and then scroll down to the displayErrors option.
6. The default setting for the dispalyErrors option is -1. To view errors in the Frontend, set this option to 1.
7. When you've finished, scroll to the bottom of the form and click the "Write to localconf.php" button.
8. Error messages will now be visible in the Frontend and Backend of your site.
9. When you've identified and corrected any errors on the site, you can reset these error display options back to their defaults to turn them off.
