I can’t get detailed error reporting for IIS7 for ASP pages on a remote browser connection. However, when I run the page locally on the server I do see a detailed error message.

I have enabled Send Errors To Browser but IIS keeps sending an internal server error.

I have unchecked show friendly HTTP error messages on IE.

Does anyone know how to enable error messages to be sent to a remote browser?

If "Send Errors To Browser" is not working set also this:

Error Pages -> 500 -> Edit Feature Settings -> "Detailed Errors"
