Are you calling pdflatex from the command line or are you using a latex editor (such as texmaker or winedit, for instance). That would explain the lack of a log file, as these editors may be configured to erase log files and/or move them to other directories. Do you also have a myfile.pdf file? That would indicate that the pdflatex run was at least partially successful. And what did you see on the console when you ran pdflatex (assuming you are using a terminal-like interface and not a LaTeX editor)?
