enable php display_errors on any site using the cPanel under \'php config\', this will then display php errors to the screen.

so this is what i needed?

well i will be adding error logs to the cpanel of sz1.eu & s-z1.com in the next few days and will try to find out why activation emails do not get sent becasue sending and recieving mail works as far as i can tell though for elgg activation emails it does not work, at this time i am the only free host who lets you auto install elgg : ) though i am still trying to configure the activation emails etc

That is the same as the "Display Errors" setting you found earlier.

ok so i need to get the error logs added to cpanel asap ?

Well you can check the errors also from a web browser by enabling the Display errors setting. But this is not an ideal solution because then the erros are visible to everyone and not just you.

thanks juho appreciate your replys and driesdk,  i have done that its not showing i have a tech admin of the server checking now to see what the prob is and using this post to show the problem : )

now working 

The path to the data directory in 'advanced settings' was not set correctly, updated the script installer to set this path correctly from installation, basically i configured the auto installer incorrectly and i have now fixed it
