MS's Most Evil Ploy (IIS)
-
Before I break down and commit suicide by calling David Wulff and telling him that I love Buffy maybe someone here can help. In IIS 4.0 when you had a runtime error in your ASP code it kindly displayed a useful error code and the error description in the page. Then IIS 5.0 came and ruined my life. It has turned me into a gibbering wreck every time an ASP error occurs. You see instead of a helpful error message you get a prettily formatted error page which does not have one useful error description on it. All you get is HTTP 500 - Internal server error. PHUKET! Now, my question; How does one turn off this "helpful feature" and revert back to a useful error page? I know that there is this roundabout way where you check-in your page, open IIS, set some security settings, check-out your page, refresh browser and then it displays the useful error page. But that has to be done each and every time I get an error. Also this means that the useful error page IS THERE! but where?!?!?!?! and how?!?!?! Any smart alec replying "write error free code" will end up biting Roger Smiths pillow by the end of the day :mad: ;P Same goes for anyone who mentions "use Apache" :) regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa "The greatest thing you will ever learn is to love, and be loved in return" - Moulin Rouge "In other words, the developer is dealing with an elephant, the accountant is dealing with a bunny rabbit." by Stan Shannon - 16/10/2001

I think in Internet Explorer->Tools->Internet Options->Advanced tab there is an option that says "Show friendly HTTP error messages". Make sure thats off and try. I really don't know if that will do it though. :bob: Joshua :bob:

You're right. I'm gonna throw away all my ISAPI extensions, and rewrite the application in PHP. And if my boss complains how slow it became, I'll just tell him to buy faster computers for our server farm. Thank you very much for your brilliant suggestion. X| I vote pro drink :beer:

Right, Rodger will be swinging around your place at 9am, sharp. Make sure you have plenty of lubricant, a latex suit (speak to John for this), a willing goat (ditto) and of course lots of pillows your mum won't mind you sacrificing to the OROPB (Organised Religion Of Pillow Biters). ;P Actually a co-worker not five feet from me just finished his PHP project and it went pretty well. Some of its features are pretty impressive... but I am still sticking with ASP and in the future ASP.NET :) regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa "The greatest thing you will ever learn is to love, and be loved in return" - Moulin Rouge "In other words, the developer is dealing with an elephant, the accountant is dealing with a bunny rabbit." by Stan Shannon - 16/10/2001

Sunny old England Now that is taking the piss ;P Actually from what I have seen I like England, though more in a "nice to visit, wouldn't want to live there" kind of way. No offense. I would miss the openess of Africa, the sun, beaches, getting a tan, wild animals (as in non-drunk, non-human wild animals), a proper Rugby and Cricket team and of course braaing. It was an eye opener visiting a 1st world nation though. The beer was great, the tube was fun (except for the bag lady who thought my crotch was a good grab rail!), the museums and art galleries interesting, Leicester Square was great and SOHO, well that was a bit weird. Never had so many women with adams apples approach me in one street before! Also you Starbucks and Pret (the sandwiched place) which are the first and last things I do when I visit merry old London town. Next trip I am heading up to Glasgow and hope to take in some of the fair hills of England :) regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa "The greatest thing you will ever learn is to love, and be loved in return" - Moulin Rouge "In other words, the developer is dealing with an elephant, the accountant is dealing with a bunny rabbit." by Stan Shannon - 16/10/2001

shouldn't this be "more stupid" ;~) and what's to against the error free code solution? cheers & flowers Peter
shouldn't this be "more stupid" ;~) Uhhh but then I would be less stupid than I appear, hence devalidating my previous statement of "stupider than I appear". :-D and what's to against the error free code solution? You show me an error free system, on first try (or ten billionth try for that matter) and I will hire you on the spot and make us both billionaires.
