There has been an error processing your request, Error log record number

Question

I installed Magento, logged in admin panel. But if I press on any link to open let say CMS pages or users configuration, I get error like this:

There has been an error processing your request Exception printing is disabled by default for security reasons.

Error log record number: 673618173351

That error log record number looks like a link, but pressing it nothing happens. I tried to look for some log file in magento files, but didn't find any.

So actually I can only connect to admin panel, but can't do anything here.

What could be wrong? I installed the newest Magento version (magento-1.7.0.2). Default frontend opens and works.

P.S.

.If any additional information is needed, just say it

Update:

So in logs every error is the same (just accessed resource is different).

a:5:{i:0;s:71:"Could not determine temp directory, please specify a cache_dir manually";i:1;s:4546:"#0 /home/geniusinsi/domains/example.com/public_html/lib/Zend/Cache/Backend.php(197): Zend_Cache::throwException('Could not deter...')

As I understand I need to specify cash directory somewhere?

Answer 1

Go to magento/var/report and open the file with the Error log record number name i.e 673618173351 in your case. In that file you can find the complete description of the error.

For log files like system.log and exception.log, go to magento/var/log/.

Answer 2

You can see the error information from:

Magento/var/report

Most of the time it is cause by broken database connection especially at local server, when one forget to start XAMPP or WAMPP server.
