the php files are not displaying any errors on the page, just giving a blank page instead. nginx error log is also empty so its not some fatal error with nginx. the fpm conf file has errors enabled:
php_flag[display_errors] = on
php_admin_value[error_reporting] = E_ALL
php_admin_value[error_log] = /var/log/php5-fpm.log
catch_workers_output = yes
php.ini also has: error_reporting = E_ALL.
nginx also has error logging enabled. the cli on ssh shows some errors with the same file:
Notice: Undefined index: country in /var/www/includes/classes/class.php on line 64 PHP Warning: include(/var/www/includes/lang/.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/includes/classes/class.php on line 66
the php file also has:
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 'on');
I've looked everywhere, tried everything, the errors just wont show.
Turns out that there was another php compiled on the server with apt-get. I just had to run apt-get remove php5 and use the php.ini from the package I compiled manually. Be sure to restart php5-fpm after making any changes to the php.ini file.
