Hi, I just moved an existing client with classic ASP to aGodaddy server running IIS7.
I need to see error messages to debug, but I don't know how to do that without accessing the server. I called GoDaddy tech support, but they have no idea, and the GoDaddy control panel offers no help for this.
There MUST be a by-page way to do that - at least I hope there is. Does anyone have the classic asp code that would go on a page that would show the detailed errors in IIS7?
Any ideas?
Thanks

Can't you just capture the errors and then use something like Response.Write?
The other issue might be that they don't realize that you are using ASP and not ASP.NET. They might have the dll disabled in IIS.

Hah, yes - I actually found this out recently, oddly I ended up working on an asp site..
I eventually found a post on either the IIS site, or an IIS team members blog explaining how to do so..
You do however need to run an IIS wide command to enable them, something godaddy would need to do, and for one; you wouldn't even get them to do in the first place.. and two; its not recommended to have raw error messages displayed on production sites..
I can only advise you move the site off into a local debug site..

I'm afraid you may be right, Stevo_. The problem is that, especially with complex mail and database stuff, it really should be tested on the server it's running on. My other option would be to have GoDaddy move it to a II6 server.

Thanks, great idea, Kayler, but the new II7 generic message code over-rules everything. As far as I can tell, it does think I'm in classic asp.
