Answer 1

Rename the env file as .env, then remove # from CI_ENVIRONMENT and modify

CI_ENVIRONMENT = production 

into

CI_ENVIRONMENT = development

Answer 2

By Defaults CI 4 comes with production platform so it not showing the errors on the frontend. To see the errors, Open .htaccess file from the root and then enter

SetEnv CI_ENVIRONMENT development

it change the environment to development the alternate way open .env file and then change the CI_ENVIRONMENT to development like that

CI_ENVIRONMENT = development

Remember don't forget to remove # from the begining
