Edit Magento Configuration settings by file (cant save)

I’m having an issue with a magento site where nothing will save, but my error logs are disabled in

System > Configuration > Developer > Log Settings

I can’t update them via the admin panel as the issue i’m having will not let me enable them and save the changes, but I can’t fix it because I have no error log. Its a vicious cycle!

How can I edit the config settings not using the admin panel? Either my xml file edit or changing the database variable?

    The way that I ended up changing the setting was through the file located at

    homedir/public_html/app/code/core/Mage/Core/etc and edited the following block in the config.xml file

    <log>
    <active>0</active>
    <file>system.log</file>
    <exception_file>exception.log</exception_file>
</log>

    and changed <active> to 1

    You can connect to database and check if entry for developer log is exist or not.
    Query to check is:

    SELECT * FROM `core_config_data` WHERE `path` LIKE 'dev/log/active';

    If it results you any record then update value to 1. Else you can add new entry in database with below insert query.

    insert into `core_config_data` (scope, scope_id, path, value) values('default',0,'dev/log/active', 1);

    After updating value in database make sure you will flush all magento caches.
