write:

  <?php

    /**
     * Whether errors should be displayed
     */
    ini_set('display_errors', true);

    /**
     * Set the error reporting level
     */
    ini_set('error_reporting', E_ALL);  // display errors must be turned on

 ?>

and ensure that your .htaccess file has no failure (if you use one).

Note: error_reporting(ERROR_LEVEL) is an alias for the ini_set() method shown above.

You can also check the error log directly from the server with the following command

tail /var/log/apache2/error.log

or, to show the last 100 lines

tail -100 /var/log/apache2/error.log

or to output appended data as the file grows

tail -f /var/log/apache2/error.log

You will need to verify the path of your error log, maybe it can change
