# Debugging Kallithea

If you encounter problems with Kallithea, here are some instructions on how to debug them.

Note

First make sure you’re using the latest version available.

## Enable detailed debug

Kallithea uses the standard Python `logging` module to log its output. By default only loggers with `INFO` level are displayed. To enable full output change `level = DEBUG` for all logging handlers in the currently used .ini file. This change will allow you to see much more detailed output in the log file or console. This generally helps a lot to track issues.

## Enable interactive debug mode

To enable interactive debug mode simply comment out `set debug = false` in the .ini file. This will trigger an interactive debugger each time there is an error in the browser, or send a http link if an error occured in the backend. This is a great tool for fast debugging as you get a handy Python console right in the web view.

Warning

NEVER ENABLE THIS ON PRODUCTION! The interactive console can be a serious security threat to your system.
