my cPanel site won't record log files

[lat9]

You could also create a .php file (name of your choice) containing:

<?php phpinfo ();

Place that file in your Zen Cart's root folder, then access that by going to www.yoursite.com/the_file_name.php. That will output the information that you could also access via the admin.

Let me know what the disable_functions setting is.

Hmm, not what I expected! Let's try another:

<?php ini_set ('error_reporting', -1);

If you place the above code into that PHP file and run it, do you receive any error output?

If these truly are the settings in the file then understand that all of them take the default (instead of the Production Value) because they are all commented out (beginning with a semi-colon (;)).

It may seem that in particular the ones related to showing instead of logging errors may be a reason why your logs are not generated. Display of errors can be a security risk where an error could be forced to occur and the result presented to the visitor.
