[FX.php List] [OFF] MPDF geeking after a server config file rebuild

[Dale Bengston]

Hey Bob,

If you can’t turn error reporting on for the site or the page, you can see PHP errors in the Mac’s Console (Utilities->Console) too.

After not too many steps you should be able to tell at which point in the source code the problem happens.
