I'm debugging a JSON endpoint and need to view internal server errors. However, my app/storage/logs dir is empty and it seems there are no other directories dedicated to logs in the project. I've tried googling the subject to no avail.
How can I enable logging, if it's not already enabled and view the logs?

In short /var/log is the location where you should find all Linux logs file. However, some applications such as httpd have a directory within /var/log/ for their own log files. You can rotate log file using logrotate software and monitor logs files using logwatch software.
The "standard" place for the log would be the AppData directory. However, really its up to you where you want to store them. As they are administrator (power users) then there should be no problems storing the logs in the same directory as the application being run.
Linux System Logs Linux has a special directory for storing logs called /var/log . This directory contains logs from the OS itself, services, and various applications running on the system.
Ensure debug mode is on - either add APP_DEBUG=true to .env file or set an environment variable
Log files are in storage/logs folder. laravel.log is the default filename. If there is a permission issue with the log folder, Laravel just halts. So if your endpoint generally works - permissions are not an issue.
In case your calls don't even reach Laravel or aren't caused by code issues - check web server's log files (check your Apache/nginx config files to see the paths).
If you use PHP-FPM, check its log files as well (you can see the path to log file in PHP-FPM pool config).

You should be checking the root directory and not the app directory.
Look in $ROOT/storage/laravel.log not app/storage/laravel.log, where root is the top directory of the project.
