Tracking error for PHP on ubuntu

Question

I can't track my error of my PHP code in my ubuntu 16. It always give me "Localhost is unavailable" whenever my code made some errors. Is it about my compiler? Do I need to install it?

Add in your code:

ini_set('display_errors', 1);
ini_set('display_startup_errors', 1);
error_reporting(E_ALL);

More informations can be found here: PHP: error_reporting

Or if you don't want to show all errors in your page, you are able to check your errors in Apache logs. In Ubuntu they are stored below:

/var/log/apache2/

File: error.log
