how to display verbose error messages?

[jimmywages]

I was testing some ASP code on my server and it works fine. Then I uploaded it to the target server and it gave me a 500 Internal Server Error message. Whenever it messes up on my server it gives me all this detail including line number. But on the server it just says ERROR! How do I force it to tell me more?

Thanks,

~jimmy.

In IIS, choose the web site and select Properties. Select the Home Directory tab and click on the Configuration button near the bottom right. Choose the App Debugging Tab and Check "Enable ASP server side script debugging" and select the radio button for "Send detailed ASP error messages to client.

This should reslove the problem.

And just to make certain it's not on the browser end (which it's probably not since it doesn't sound like you're changing clients), if you're using IE be certain to go to Tools->Internet Options->Advanced Tab and uncheck the checkbox labeled "Show friendly HTTP error messages".
