Question

I was trying to create a new product but some weird problem happened and it simply gave me this error:

Invalid data given. Details in error message.

Which was generated by $e -> getMessage() from this snippet:

try {
    $result = $proxy -> call($sessionId, $api, $parameters);
    return $result;
} catch (SoapFault $e) {
    echo '<p style="color:red;">'.$e -> getMessage().'</p>';
    return false;
}

So where is this “error message”? Thanks!

All Magento log files and reports are placed in the var/ sub directories, these are :

{Mage_path}/var/log
{Mage_path}/var/report

Also check if the configuration is set to output messages in log files ( in System / Configuration / Developer ).
