ctricaud:
Thanks for theses informations but I have this problem: the 500 error message is shwon despite the fact I used all these parameters. This is the 500 error message and note the message which is set in the script error message tag.

The problem is not in IE since on another server I have the good messages.

Why does the 500 page is shown and not the message?

I had the same problems and the answer is here: http://forums.iis.net/t/1157908.aspx Quoted:

Hi,

Please check the httpErrors setting(IIS Manager->Click your website->Click Error Pages->Click Edit feature Settings… on the Actions panel). If you are using a remote client, make sure the errorMode is set to “Detailed”. Otherwise, you can set the errorMode to “DetailedLocalOnly”.

Hope this helps the rest of you struggling with the same scenario!

Solution that worked:

The problem was that you have to have a very specific set of parameters dialed in. If one thing is set the wrong way it doesn’t work.

To view errors on Server:
Uncheck "show friendly error messages" in server’s IE
Uncheck “enable script debugging (Internet Explorer) and (Other)” in server’s IE

In IIS 7: Sites - My Site - Click on "ASP" - Open "Debugging Properties" - Set "Send Errors to Browser" to True. Set "Enable Client Side and Server Side debugging" both to False. Set “Calculate line numbers” to True.

View Errors in browser or, for more detail:
Start - administrative tools - event viewer - Windows Logs - Application
or
Start - Server Manager - Diagnostics - Event Viewer - Windows Logs – Application

It's set to true. I also just unchecked "show friendly error messages" in IE and the error came up in the browser! Fixed!

I would confirm the "Send Errors to Browser" is set to True.

Steve,

I tried setting both to false, and it still doesn't work.

Interestingly, after testing, I am getting good error messages on pages that do not have dynamic content. This problem seems to occur only on pages that connect to a database and read/write to it.

Also I've just found that there ARE good error messages in the diagnostics/event viewer/windows Logs/application logs, but they don't make it out to the web page as displayed in the server browser. So now I can debug, but it would be nice to have the error display in the browser window.

That is what I was referring to. Uncheck both the Debugging options on the server. Sorry if I wasn't clear.

On the server, Enable Client-Side (and Server-Side) Debugging are both set to true. On IE "Disable Script Debugging (IE and other) are both unchecked.

I would uncheck the client and server side debugging.

Hi Steve, thanks for your response.

That was one of the first things we tried. It still doesn't work.

1) Turn off HTTP friendly errors in IE

2) To view actual ASP Errors, follow steps below:

Make sure you're in Features View (not Content View), then double-click the ASP icon. Expand "Compilation" and then "Debugging Properties". Set the "Send Errors To Browser" to True.

Hello,

We don't have any useful error messages appearing with classic ASP and IIS 7. We're trying to have errors with line numbers and specific codes for debugging purposes.

Errors on my local browser are all "500 - Internal Server error". The same error on the server is "HTTP 500 the website cannot display the page".

In IIS, Calculate line numbers, Enable Client-side debugging, Enable Server-side debugging and send errors to browser are all set to true. In my IE, Disable Script Debugging is unchecked. Show friendly error messages, has been tried off and on.

We've spent days on this to no avail. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
