Error reporting to cure what ails me

note to self:

when a site is completely broken,
go into the /etc/ folder, which is above /public_html/ .. open php.ini .. search for “error_reporting”

now instead of this:
error_reporting = E_COMPILE_ERROR|E_ERROR|E_CORE_ERROR
display_errors = Off
display_startup_errors = Off

you want this:
error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE
;error_reporting = E_COMPILE_ERROR|E_ERROR|E_CORE_ERROR
display_errors = On
display_startup_errors = On

let’s become good friends with this information and forever find goodness in result.

(thanks for the Apache2Triad experience, Rob .. might’ve otherwise taken me a few more days to figure what to do.)
