Magento install error - Exception printing is disabled

Here is the walk through to recover from this error

1. Navigate to the "errors" folder.
2. Change local.xml.sample to local.xml

Worked for me till here while I was in installation phase

However fellow experts have added few more steps

3. You will see a bunch of errors now
4. Open magento/lib/Zend/Cache/Backend/File.php and look for:

protected $_options = array(
'cache_dir' => 'null', 

5. Change the same to

protected $_options = array(
'cache_dir' => 'tmp/', 

and save the file

6. Now the final step is to go create a tmp folder in the root Magento folder.


That's It
