How To: Retrieving error messages

Activate Error Logging

If you receive a 404 page for an unknown reason, or if you feel that Omeka is behaving strangely somehow, you can activate error logging to create detailed reports that you can then post to the forum or email directly to us.

1. change permissions on your installation so that the following file is writable by your webserver : application/logs/errors.log
2. edit your application/config/config.ini file so that the value for "log.errors" is set to true
3. do your best to repeat whatever originally caused the error, then send us the contents of the errors.log file
