I have a similar problem Tom with a lot of the sites I work on.   The
ones i'm referring to are the ones on our shared servers.  I can't
turn debugging on at the server, unless everyone has overridden that
in their pages, or else I only permit some ip addresses to see
debugging.   (that's not practical because people have different ip
addresses all the time and we'd have to keep changing the list of ips)
 It's not really a simple answer to have debugging turned on for a
shared server.

So I have debugging on at my dev server (my pcs) and in the rare event
I need to see the debugging info on a live site - perhaps to fix a
problem that hadnt shown itself in the dev environment -  I'll beg and
bribe the  sysadmin to turn debugging on for my IP only for a short
while as a temporary measure only.

In general, unless there are really special reasons you should be
doing all your debugging in your development environment (your own PC)
where you can leave debugging on all the time, or turn it off, at your
own whim.
