I have created a entry page and created fields for all those. Now am trying to entered fields into my database.
My values are save in database but after saving my CRM page shows error like
500 - Internal server error. There is a problem with the resource you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed.
I think this error may be because of not enabling parent path and authentication rights in IIS.
I enabled the allow parent path in IIs->ASP,iis->Asp->debugging properties->send errors to browser->true
How to resolve this error?
I figured out that in IIS7.
I had to go to the site in question, to 'Error Pages' --> "Edit Feature Settings" and select "Detailed errors". It's a little dialog box that pops up with three radio buttons.
This fixed it for me. Simply setting "Send Errors To Browser" to true, did not do the trick.
Hope this helps someone.
I'm having a trouble reproducing an issue a user is having in IE, but something that always bugged me is how can I see the error message from classic ASP page in IE for example on a dev server.
In IE all I see is for example:
This page contains programming error
And that's it.
Note: since this is server side, it applies to all browsers.
I remember this one!
You need to go into ie settings > advanced > uncheck "show friendly http errors"
I've seen a number of similar questions to this on StackOverflow and on other sites, but nothing that seems to resolve the issue I'm experiencing.
I'm trying to configure a site to return a 500 status code and a custom error page (static HTML file) for ASP.NET errors that would normally return a 500 where customErrors is set to "Off", and 404 status code for pages that our system reports as not being found (the 404 page is not a static page set via IIS, it's generated by our CMS system).
I'm part way there, but I've hit a bit of a brick wall.
At present, I'm able to return the correct 404 status code where our system returns a page with a 404 status code, but I'm now unable to return a 500 status code for ASP.NET server errors. I managed this by setting Response.TrySkipIisCustomErrors = true. My 500 errors, however, are proving more complicated. If I remove the customErrors config section from my web.config, I get the 500 error but it's the ugly ASP.NET YSOD. I can't seem to get this to point to a custom page using IIS at all, no matter what settings I use for the httpErrors config section and no matter what I set via the IIS GUI. If I add the customErrors section back, I get the custom error page as I'd expect, but I get a 200 or 302 error (depending on the value of redirectMode attribute).
Anyone got any ideas?
In terms of httpErrors config section I've tried the following so far:
Setting errorMode to "Custom" and specifying my static content for errors with a statusCode of "500" and a subStatusCode of "-1" (removing existing 500 error first)
Setting errorMode to "Detailed" and specifying my static content for errors with a statusCode of "500" and a subStatusCode of "-1" (removing existing 500 error first)
Setting existingResponse="PassThrough" for both configuration options above.
It seems you may be going above and beyond what you need to do, that is if I understand you correctly. Here is a good link
It seems like you what you need is to handle the global.asax Application_Error Event. This way you can handle it anyway you like and you dont get that ugly asp.net error screen. Any web app I create I put some code in there to handle errors so the user wont see any unformatted "blow ups"
IIS 7.5 , 2008rc2, classic asp, 500 error msg:
The page cannot be displayed because an internal server error has occurred.
I need to know how to configure IIS to get a more detailed error.
I've tried setting to true all of debugging options in the ASP configuration.
But that didn't work. Can anyone help me?
I have come to the same problem and fixed the same way as Alex K.
So if "Send Errors To Browser" is not working set also this:
Error Pages -> 500 -> Edit Feature Settings -> "Detailed Errors"
Also note that if the content of the error page sent back is quite short and you're using IE, IE will happily ignore the useful content sent back by the server and show you its own generic error page instead. You can turn this off in IE's options, or use a different browser.
If you're on a remote server you can configure your web.config file like so:
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<httpErrors errorMode="Detailed" />
<asp scriptErrorSentToBrowser="true"/>
</system.webServer>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="Off"/>
<compilation debug="true"/>
</system.web>
Double click "ASP" in the site's Home screen in IIS admin, expand "Debugging Properties", enable "Send errors to browser", and click "Apply".
Under "Error Pages" on the home screen select "500", then "Edit feature settings" and select "Detailed Errors".
Note that the same steps apply for IIS 8.0 (Windows Server 2012).
After trying Vaclav's and Alex's answer, I still had to disable "Show friendly HTTP error messages" in IE
TLDR:First determine where in the pipeline you're getting the error from (scroll looking for screenshots of something that resembles your error), make changes to get something new, repeat.
First determine what error message you are actually seeing.
If you are seeing the file located here...
%SystemDrive%\inetpub\custerr<LANGUAGE-TAG>\500.htm
...which generally looks like this:
**...then you know you are seeing the currently configured error page in IIS ** and you do NOT need to change the ASP.net customErrors setting, asp error detail setting, or "show friendly http errors" browser setting.
You may want to look at the above referenced path instead of trusting my screenshot just in case somebody changed it.
"Yes, I see the above described error..."
In this case, you are seeing the setting of <httpErrors> or in IIS Manager it's Error Pages --> Edit Feature Settings. The default for this is errorMode=DetailedLocalOnly at the server node level (as opposed to the site level) which means that while you will see this configured error page while remote, you should be able to log on locally to the server and see the full error which should look something like this:
You should have everything that you need at that point to fix the current error.
"But I don't see the detailed error even browsing on the server"
That leaves a couple of possibilities.
The browser you are using on the server is configured to use a proxy
in its connection settings so it is not being seen as "local".
You're not actually browsing to the site you think you are browsing to - this commonly happens when there's a load balancer involved. Do a ping check to see if dns gives you an IP on the server or somewhere else.
Your site's httpErrors settings is set for "Custom" only. Change it to "DetailedLocalOnly". However, if you have a configuration error, this may not work since the site level httpErrors is also a configuration item. In that case proceed to #4
The default for httpErrors for all sites is set for "Custom". In this case you need to click on the top level server node in IIS Manager (and not a particular site) and change the httpErrors settings there to DetailedLocalOnly. If this is an internal server and you're not worried about divulging sensitive information, you could also set it to "Detailed" which will allow you to see the error from clients other than the server.
You're missing a module on the server like UrlRewrite (this one bites me a lot, and it often gives the generic message regardless of the httpErrors settings).
"Logging on to the server is not an option for me"
Change your site's httpErrors to "Detailed" so you can see it remotely. But if it doesn't work your error might already be a config error, see #3 immediately above. So you might be stuck with #4 or #5 and you're going to need somebody from your server team.
"I'm not seeing the error page described above. I'm seeing something different"
If you see this...
...and you expect to see something like this...
...then you need to change "Send errors to browser" to true in IIS Manager, under Site --> IIS --> ASP --> Debugging Properties
If you see this...
or this...
...you need to disable friendly errors in your browser or use fiddler's webview to look at the actual response vs what your browser chooses to show you.
If you see this...
...then custom errors is working but you don't have a custom error page (of course at this point were talking about .net and not classic asp). You need to change your customErrors tag in your web.config to RemoteOnly to view on the server, or Off to view remotely.
If you see something that is styled like your site, then custom errors is likely On or RemoteOnly and it's displaying the custom page (Views->Shared->Error.cshtml in MVC for example). That said, it is unlikely but possible that somebody changed the pages in IIS for httpErrors so see the first section on that.
In web.config under
<system.webServer>
replace (or add) the line
<httpErrors errorMode="Detailed"></httpErrors>
with
<httpErrors existingResponse="PassThrough" errorMode="Detailed"></httpErrors>
This is because by default IIS7 intercepts HTTP status codes such as 4xx and 5xx generated by applications further up the pipeline.
Next, enable "Send Errors to Browser" under the "ASP" section, and under "Error Pages / Edit Feature Settings", select "Detailed errors".
Also, give Write permissions on the website folder to the IIS_IUSRS builtin group.
try setting the value of the "existingResponse" httpErrors attribute to "PassThrough". Mine was set at "Replace" which was causing the YSOD not to display.
<httpErrors errorMode="Detailed" existingResponse="PassThrough">
One thing nobody's mentioned is as a very quick and temporary fix, you can view the error on the localhost of that web server.
You may also verify that if you changed your main website folder (c:\inetpub\wwwroot) to another folder you must give read permission to the IIS_IUSRS group in the new folder.
Fot people who have tried EVERYTHING and just CANNOT get the error details to show, like me, it's a good idea to check the different levels of configuration. I have a config file on Website level and on Application level (inside the website) check both. Also, as it turned out, I had Detailed Errors disabled on the highest node in IIS (just underneath Start Page, it has the name that is the same as the webservers computername). Check the Error Pages there.
Found it.

run cmd as administrator, go to your system32\inetsrv folder and execute:
appcmd.exe set config -section:system.webServer/httpErrors -allowAbsolutePathsWhenDelegated:true
Now I can see detailed asp errors .
If you run the browser in the server and test your url of the project with the local ip you have received all errors of that project without a generally error page(for example 500 error page).
In my case it was permission issue.
Open application folder properties -> Security tab -> Edit -> Add
IIS AppPool\[DefaultAppPool or any other apppool] (if use ApplicationPoolIdentity option)
IUSRS
IIS_IUSRS
Double check the encoding of the asp file you are testing.
For instance if you created a file like below on a Windows Server Core 2019 :
echo "<%# LANGUAGE=Javascript %>" > test.asp
echo "<%Response.Write("test");%>" >> test.asp
Then test.asp will be encoded in Unicode, and requesting it will produce a 500 without any details.
Do a notepad test.asp, then click on "Save As..." and choose "ANSI" encoding to fix it.
Well since i installed IE 8 i get this error so i cant debug my asp.net page :(
"Unable to start program http://localhost:123/myapp/"
Could not find the element(or some thing like that translated from swe)
What must i do to get rid of this error? and IE more or less hangs after this, the window does respond but it only loads half of it components...
Edit: Is there any way to set what browser to use when debugging befor i installed IE8 i normaly used opera and it worked like i wanted it to...
i think you IE 8 is not properly installed try setting other browser as default browser.
if you don't get this error then it means you have to re install ie 8 again
Hi all these type of user i had resolved this error so u also must try it as follow below steps:
This is one of the various errors that appear when you are debugging and may haunt you until you do the following fix:-
In the Internet Explorer, "Tools" Menu, select "Internet Options".
Switch to "Security" Tab.
Click on "Internet" (The Globe Icon. Its actually the default selected).
Click on "Custom Level" in the bottom.
Scroll down to find the "User Authentication" section.
Select "Automatic logon with current username and password".
OR Anonymous logon.
Click "Ok" twice to exit.
Restart IE. (You don't need to reinstall your browser.)
