What is “Exception printing is disabled by default for security reasons”?
As explained in this similar tutorial There has been an error processing your request, this is a common error message that you will encounter when working with Magento. Note that the message in itself is NOT an error, but rather a notification on some errors occurring in your system. As it is caused by potential conflicts between internal components of Magento and/or caching issues, you may encounter this error message when installing a new Magento theme/module.

How to solve this?
First, if you’re not involved with managing your server and your Magento backend, it might be worth it to check with your developers to see if they’re doing on the Magento backend. It is likely that your developers might be troubleshooting things on your Magento backend which leads to this error message.
In short, there are two main ways to solve this error message: (1) clear your cache and (2) enable printing errors. Now we’ll go into details on each solution.
1. Clear your cache
Clearing your cache oftentimes can make this error message go away for good. To clear your cache, access your Magento installation folder, go to var/cache and delete all the files there.

Alternatively, you could also go to your Magento admin and navigate to System > Cache Management > Flush Cache Storage.

Then, refresh your Magento site to see if the error message is gone.
Don’t skip this guide to know how to Enable/Disable OR Clear Cache in your Magento 2-based online stores.
2. Enable exception printing errors
If the above method doesn’t work, then you need to enable printing errors to find out what the exact problems are and solve them.
To enable printing errors, first you’ll need to switch your store to developer mode using:
php bin/magento deploy:mode:set developer
And then, go to the /pub/errors folder in your Magento 2 directory and change the name of this file:
local.xml.sample
to local.xml
.
Next, refresh your error page and you should be able to see a list of errors like so:
[2020-12-12 22:35:20] main.CRITICAL: Class Magento\Framework\App\Http\Interceptor does not exist {"exception":"[object] (ReflectionException(code: -1): Class Magento\\Framework\\App\\Http\\Interceptor does not exist at /home/public_html/vendor/magento/framework/Code/Reader/ClassReader.php:24)"} []

Good information i have also apply your tips then solve my error.Thank you for sharing.Keep it up
Thanks You ! I was able to restart my site by emptying the cache, for the manipulation of renaming local.xml.sample to local.xml, as I’m not a computer scientist, I’m afraid to take the risk even if it tempts me!
nice … I just solved the error…. after changing the file name .sample to .xml. then the page started working perfectly. I dont get any error after that . (Next, refresh your error page and you should be able to see a list of errors like so: – no error shown.. worked perfectly)
