Answer 1

If dlog/watchdog and php error log aren't working, try this:

go on /includes/error.inc comment line line 245

print theme('maintenance_page', array('content' => t('The website encountered an unexpected error. Please try again later.')));

and put this

print theme('maintenance_page', array('content' => t('The website encountered an unexpected error. Please try again later.'.$fatal.' '.var_export($error,true))));

Very similar, you put var_export($error,true)) at end of error
