Editing Config.php

You have to find this file and edit it on your desired  Text Editor.

You can see these lines.

$error_logfile = $path_to_root.'/tmp/errors.log'; 
$debug = 0; // show sql on database errors
$show_sql = 0; // show all sql queries in page footer for debugging purposes 
$go_debug = 0; // set to 1 for basic debugging, or 2 to see also backtrace after failure. 
$pdf_debug = 0; // display pdf source instead reports for debugging when $go_debug!=0

Here the Comment line itself you can have details.  So if you want to check the Script, Permission, file missing errors can be identify with help of $go_debug=1; .

For sql query related errors you should enable $show_sql=1; to see the errors.
