You should only need to turn on Versioning in the Document Library.

Thanks for the answer, but our list is not a document library it is based on a custom list definition. – Shiraz Bhaiji Jul 06 '10 at 12:46
You can still enable Version control on lists. – JC Vivian Jul 06 '10 at 14:12
Is there a way to log EVERYTHING that happens? I turned on major and minor versioning but I have some files that are disappearing and they aren't in the recycle bin. Don't know what is happening, can I track this some how? – mgrenier May 11 '15 at 15:14

You can have full version history for a List - if this is not enough then perhaps an event handler associated with the list that logs all addition/update/delete events.
