Copy and paste the following into a new .htaccess file and place it on your website's root folder :

php_flag  display_errors                  on
php_flag  display_startup_errors          on

Errors will be shown directly in your page.

That's the best way to debug quickly but don't use it for long time because it could be a security breach.
