This is strange, pdflatex always produces a log file unless instructed
otherwise. 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)?
