I upgraded our development web server from IIS 4.0 to IIS 5.0 and now the developers are complaining about the .asp error messages. Apparently the error messages are very vague. Is there somewhere to turn on more detailed messages?

Using the Properties page for the website, choose the Home Directory tab and click Configuration (If Configuration is dimmed, click Create first). On the Application onfiguration property page, choose the App Debugging tab and make sure:

Enable ASP server-side script debugging is checked.

Send detailed ASP error messages to client is selected.

Make sure these are the settings for all applications defined for your developers.

If this does not improve the detail, install front page extensions on all of your developers IIS 5.0 sites.

Thanks for the ideas, unfortunately I had given that a try with no success. I do however believe I have the answer: IE5+ has an option that only reared it's ugly head after installing win2k on the web server. Under tools, internet options, advanced,"show friendly http errors".. uncheck and all is looking good over here.
Thanks again for the sugestion.
