关闭Joomla调试模式

Question

I have a website with Joomla 2.5.8. There was an issue happening only on the production server, so I turn on the logs for a few minutes.

I went to Global Configuration > Server >Error reporting and change it from "Simple" to "Development".

The thing is, the logs generated are not in the same encoding as the rest of the website. So it basically broke it down. Front-office and back-office are unavailable.

I need to turn off the debug mode without using the administration console.

Does someone knows which file or database table to amend ?

The goal is to have a temporary fix, so I can access the admin tools and revert the broken setting.

Answer 1

EDIT: Since I see you turned on error reporting, you will need to edit the variable $error_reporting within the JConfig class in the configuration.php file to: public $error_reporting = 'default'; .

Answer 2

I finally found the answer with a 20 minutes server downtime.

I opened /includes/framework.php and /administrator/includes/framework.php and added this line :

// System configuration.
$config = new JConfig();

// XXX : Line to add for a temporary fix
$config->error_reporting = 'default';

// Set the error_reporting
switch ($config->error_reporting)
{
    case 'default':
    case '-1':
        break;

    case 'none':
    case '0':
        error_reporting(0);
        break;

Then the administration console is available again and I can change the settings properly.
