PHP 7.3 Cannot Display Errors

[Michael Legg]

Hi Guys

I've just upgraded to PHP 7.3 and no matter what I do, PHP refuses to display errors. I've tried all of the usual things that I've been doing for the last 20 years, but I just get ...

This page isn’t working
[domain] is currently unable to handle this request.
HTTP ERROR 500

1) Adding -
error_reporting=E_ALL
display_errors=On
display_startup_errors=On
html_errors=On

to php.ini does nothing

2) Adding -
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
ini_set('display_startup_errors', 1);
error_reporting(E_ALL);

to individual scripts does nothing

3) Adding -
php_flag display_errors On
to the .htaccess file made Apache crash!

Is there some new trick that I need to learn to get PHP 7.3 to display errors?

The error 500 is a generic error message. Have you checked your domain's error log file? You can modify the webserver's error log level to get more information about it.

The web server error log is somewhere to check - also if you're looking to display errors you need to ensure that you're adding this setting correctly if you're running php-fpm How to Manage Your php.ini Directives with PHP FPM | cPanel & WHM Documentation
