Maddening Lack of Error Reporting - White Screen

[eluser]ladyj001[/eluser]
I'm sure this is a rookie setup/config mistake...But, I am having a devil of a time getting CI to display coding errors that occur in the controller and/or view. Instead of error messages, I get a blank screen.


For example, in the controller I called an model method that did not exist. Rather than an error, I got the blank screen.

Another time, I invoked a view that was using form helper functions; but, I forgot to load the helper. Again, no error message on screen or in log. Just a blank screen.

So it is completely maddening not to have to debug by trial an error - literally commenting out one line at a time until I find the culprit.

I have $config['log_threshold'] = 4 - but in the cases above, no errors were written to the log. I have $this->output->enable_profiler(TRUE) is my controller, but no errors show up on the screen.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
