Does Magento Development leave you wondering why your not getting the correct result?
Do you struggle to see where the error(s) may be?
Developing for Magento can sometimes leave a web developer confused and frustrated especially when pin-pointing coding errors/problems, but did you know you can write to Magento system log and exception file to see when the problem arose or what exactly went wrong.
Simply turn on the logging:
Admin Panel > Configuration > Developer > Log Settings > Enabled to Yes.
Then log into the files (via FTP or SSH) and head over to
- var/log/system.log
- var/log/exception.log
You may need to alter the folder permissions to 775 if you have file write permissions.
