how to debug elgg 1.8 trunk

Hey - I'm trying to get to debug the new version of elgg, 1.8, thats in the svn trunk, but the log still shows only when items are created or updated. No errors, notices or warnings are displayed although the config is set to return all information. I then tried manually adding $CONFIG->debug = true; to the settings.php, but with the same result. Is there some log file that I can just open manually to see what's going on? I.e. what's getting loaded in producing a view and why a plugin could not be activated?

  • Which "log" are you referring to?

    • apache access log
    • php error log
    • elgg log
    To get debug messages to appear on screen you should set the debug option to the appropriate level from the advanced site settings page.
