How can I activate debug mode in WordPress? – CPanel

I am trying to activate the WordPress Debug mode but the error.log file is not created. I added this code to the wp-config.php file.

define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );
define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true );
define( 'WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false );

    I think I found the problem (Apache server). In the Apache server, inside the php.ini, the variable:

    track_errors = Off

    To get this information, you can do in a phpfile phpinfo();. So, to write the debug log file, you need to set track_errors as ‘On’.

    If you are using cPanel for your server (which I’m assuming since you included the tag cpanel in your post), and the PHP-FPM is active, the wordpress error log goes to your site error log file, and won’t appear in wp-content which is the wordpress default error log location.

    Your site error log is located in

    /yourAccountName/logs/yourdomain_com.php.error.log

    Before ‘your account name’ you might see /home/ or /homexxx/ where xxx is some number.
