    Help! Classic ASP on IIS7

    Reply Contact

    I have hosting with Godaddy Windows PLan.

    It is IIS7. So everytime scripts have error, it only shows generic 500 error. I do n't knowhow to track error without detailed error line.

    And their tech recommend me to add web.config file on root as below codes:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
    <configuration>
        <system.web>
            <customErrors mode="Off"/>
    </configuration>

     

    I upload this file to root. If script has error, it still shows 500 error. I also tried intergrated mode or Classsic mode. it sitill have same error.

    Is ther e anybody know how to resolve this problem? It spends me one week working on this issue.

    Help pls.

    system.web/customErrors section will only affect aspx responses only. Can you try putting following in web.config?

    <configuration>
      <system.webServer>
        <httpErrors errorMode="Detailed"/>
      </system.webServer>
    </configuration>

    You probably do not want to enable detailed errors for ever. Once you are done debugging 500 error, you should change errorMode to "DetailedLocalOnly".

     Then it shows different error:

    An error occurred on the server when processing the URL. Please contact the system administrator.

    If you are the system administrator please click here to find out more about this error.

     

    But I am not administrator. It is hosting server. Any other better idea? Thanks a lot.

    Your hoster probably doesn't have system.webServer/httpErrors section delegated. Not sure if your hoster allows you to change system.webServer/asp section configuration but you can try putting following in your web.config.

    <configuration>
     <system.webServer>
      <asp scriptErrorSentToBrowser="true" />
     </system.webServer>
    </configuration>
