PHP in linux (LAMP) is not displaying cause of errors when code fails? (Ubuntu)

Question

I was a Windows user and used Wamp. Every time a PHP code failed, the browser would display something like this: error in line number xx.

I followed the installation of this tutorial and everything worked.

Now when code fail PHP just display a blank page.

Any sugestions?

(I'm using Ubuntu 10.04).

Find php.ini under /etc/php5/apache2/ and set the value of error_reporting to E_ALL. Like:

error_reporting = E_ALL

Or alternatively check error.log if your virtual host is providing one.
