localhost install of Hotstart file - error message

I'm not sure what file I should be trying to amend? Ther eis no clear line of code that refers to $debug=0, (newbie here so excuse if I am being stupid)! I have other local joomla instals on the same localhost (under different names) and the administrator login runs ok on those, it is only the Hot Destinations one that is causing me an issue.

add

error_reporting(0);

before

define('_JEXEC', 1);

in administartor/index.php

Resolved this one, all now working perfectly

the ini file to be amended was

d:\xampp\htdocs\joomla25_1\administration\includes\application.php

turned off the error reporting in that one and all works ok now.
