These code lines can help you quickly enable log setting in your magento site.

INSERT INTO `core_config_data` (`config_id`, `scope`, `scope_id`, `path`, `value`) VALUES
('', 'default', 0, 'dev/log/active', '1'),
('', 'default', 0, 'dev/log/file', 'system.log'),
('', 'default', 0, 'dev/log/exception_file', 'exception.log');

Then you can see them inside the folder: /var/log under root installation.
