How to display errors on laravel

Question

I'm trying to create an app on Laravel beta but I can't debug it because it doesn't show any error, display_errors is on, error_reporting is E_ALL and debug => true (config/app.php). When I try to do an error on public/index.php it shows a parse error, but when I do it on the router it just shows a blank page (White screen of death).

How can I fix this?

Hello @kartik,

I had a problem with the white screen after installing a new larval instance. I couldn't find anything in the logs because (eventually I found out) that the reason for the white screen was that app/storage wasn't writable.

In order to get an error message on the screen I added the following to the public/index.php

try {
    $app->run();
} catch(\Exception $e) {
    echo "<pre>";
    echo $e;
    echo "</pre>";
}

Hope it helps!!

Thank You!!
