IIS7 ASP Detailed Errors

In IIS7, this is how you set the server to send detailed errors to the browser for Classic ASP. You need to do ALL THREE steps.

Note that Enable Server Side Debugging must be set to False. Otherwise, when an error is encountered, no error message will be displayed and the response will just stop dead.

STEP 1

STEP 2

STEP 3

Test the site for errors (make an error on purpose - for example divide by zero). If it is still not working, check to see if there is a web.config file in the site root folder.

If errors are not working try renaming the web.config and see if errors are working properly without it.

Note, there may be a web.config in the site folder or web root also affecting the errors - even in an ASP Classic web site.
