Answers.Body: <p>It sounds like you may not have the proper MySQL privileges.  I'll admit I'm a little hazy on exactly what privileges are necessary with which SQL version - but having the SUPER and CREATE TRIGGER permissions together works on any Civi-supported version of MySQL.

  <p>If you're not sure, log into MySQL as the Civi user and run <code>SHOW GRANTS</code> and report back with that, plus the version of MySQL.</p>

Title: What settings are required to display detailed change logging?
ThreadText: # What settings are required to display detailed change logging?
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2016-01-11)
  
  I've got a site using CiviCRM 4.5.8
  
  I've tried to enable detailed change logging in Misc (Undelete, PDFs, Limits, Logging, Captcha, etc.)
  
  But the change log tab still shows the basic changed by person x on date y details.
  
  On other sites I've worked with (4.5 and 4.6) enabling detailed logging changes the log view automatically.
  
  Is there a related setting I've overlooked?
  
  Should I just bite the bullet and upgrade the site?
  
  Cheers

  I had the same problem - we run four different civi instances.
  Two had detailed change logs, two did not.
  
  Across all instances users had same privileges and all four instances had logging enabled. The difference other than civi versions was that two had change log report. So the change log tab runs off reports. Steps to fix:
  
  1) check logging enabled in Misc (Undelete, PDFs, Limits, Logging, Captcha, etc)
  
  2) in Admin > CiviReport > Manage Templates.. check the summary and detailed contact logging templates are enabled (as default they were disabled on ours)
  
  3) The MISSING bit... create an actual Contact Logging Report (Summary) from the template.
  
  and that did the trick.
  
  Note: when creating the report clicking 'refresh results' the report failed to load the results - i guess its too large. But save the report anyway and the detailed changes are displayed on the contact record.
