No error on non-writable logs directory? - El Forum - 03-16-2008

Do you agree that this is a bug?
It seems that when the system/logs is not writable all controllers display a blank page (or maybe better to say, no page at all) instead of an error.
I am referring to the Forum thread http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/71904/
This should at least be put in the "troubleshooting" section of the user guide.

Sounds like this is because a critical php error occurs, but you have php ini display_errors set to 'off' so you see a blank page.
In your index.php file put
ini_set('display_errors', 'On');
error_reporting(E_ALL);
Refresh and see if you get a php error - I suspect you are getting an error for a different reason than you think because. I could be wrong.

Glen, thank you for your suggestion.
I tried what you said, but it didn't work, I still get a blank page.
As soon as I make the logs folder writable again, everything works as it should.
