how to enable error reporting in laravel 4.2 for debugging

问题

I just have installed new laravel 4.2 using composer. I make syntax mistake deliberately on my router.php to see if an appropriate exception is thrown by the application on my browser screen, but instead a got this

Whoops, looks like something went wrong

.

i have checked the app/config.php file and changed "debug" = false to "debug" = true and it is not worked for me. Still I am getting the same message.

does any body know how to configure laravel 4 to display error message on my screen?

回答1:

You need to change app/config/local/app.php file - and set 'debug' => true,

回答2:

are you sure you set debug state?

because app/config.php does not seem right destination for laravel, but app/config/app.php

回答3:

If you are on windows, these additional steps might help.

1. As other users have pointed, make sure on app/config/app.php

   'debug'=> true,

   2. Go to directory where the laravel folder is on powershell/ cygwin and run:

   php artisan serve

and then check the site on localhost:8000 to access the site. You can put a dummy url to check if it shows error.
