Classic ASP Sending errors to browser does not work on IIS7 for remote connections

Question

I can’t get detailed error reporting for IIS7 for ASP pages on a remote browser connection. However, when I run the page locally on the server I do see a detailed error message.

I have enabled Send Errors To Browser but IIS keeps sending an internal server error.

I have unchecked show friendly HTTP error messages on IE.

Does anyone know how to enable error messages to be sent to a remote browser?

Answer 1

There is an ASP setting you need to change in IIS 7

Under the IIS heading, open the ASP properties, and under Compilation, expand the Debugging Properties, there you'll find:

• Send Errors To Browser

Set it to True

As you've already done, you need to disable the show friendly HTTP error messages in IE.
