The Missing piwik.log File

I am still (see Cookie Opt-In, Opt_Out Checkbox Dysfunctional) trying to discover the source of an internal server error created when users check or uncheck the opt-in/opt-out toggle for the acceptance or rejection of an individual tracking cookie.

In my quest for the source of this error I have stumbled across the following passage in the global-ini.php file in the config folder.

When I look for the piwik.log file in the /matomo/tmp/logs/ folder, as instructed, I discover something very different – namely, two files called index.htm and index.php.

1. Is this because the log_writers[] array is set to screen, rather than file?

[log]
; possible values for log: screen, database, file
log_writers[] = screen

; log level, everything logged w/ this level or one of greater severity
; will be logged. everything else will be ignored. possible values are:
; ERROR, WARN, INFO, DEBUG
log_level = WARN | INFO | DEBUG
; if configured to log in a file, log entries will be made to this file
logger_file_path = tmp/logs/piwik.log

In the end my goal is to discover what is causing the internal server error and am hoping that PHP error messages could offer a clue.

2. Where or how do I find these ?

3. Finally, can one select multiple error options? If so, how does one delimit them? With a pipe, a comma, or merely a space? If not, are they increasingly inclusive moving from left to right?
