Throwing off this error from the Magento frontend? Yet clicking on the random error log number provided does not display any information. Try any of the below:
Download the Magento log files
You may check out the logs for specific errors and troubleshooting by:
- Going to /var/log/
- Download the .log files (exception and system)
- Open the log files and check what the errors are
- Troubleshoot as needed
Enable the Exception Printing
Enable this as otherwise stated in the error “Exception printing is disabled by default for security reasons“. The purpose here is to enable the actual log files of errors displayed on the website (web frontend) which makes it unnecessary to browse and download for the log files. This is of course a high security risk since information will become publicly displayed, something that should be reverted as soon as possible.
To enable this exception printing:
- Browse to /errors/ folder
- Rename local.xml.sample to local.xml
- When done with troubleshooting issues, revert the filename to the original local.xml.sample
See for example, what we have if enabled
