Hi there :) Being an active ASP scripter, I really need IIS to tell me where any of my ASP (classic) pages fail, should I have made an error of some sort. In IIS 6, I'd see an error message telling me at which line I might have an error. IIS7...just tells me that there's an internal server error. I have enabled client side debugging etc. in the IIS 7 manager, and also disabled MSIE's "show nice error messages" but I have yet to see my "beloved" error messages. So how do I get those back? Thanks in advance...
