Response Code 500 in IIS Logs doesnot contain details

External Since: Apr 14, 2004 Posts: 2

Hi,
We are using IIS 5.0 on Windows 2000 server. IIS Log files sometimes show
status as "500" for some files and give the error description but sometimes
just show error code 500 with no description. How do I remove this error?
Thanks in advance.

Remove it from the log or fix it from happening? If the request
hasn't made it far enough to log any details, you'd need to be the one
receiving the error, and have turned off friendly errors, to see
anything useful. You can also use a custom error page for your 500
errors that wirtes a debug or sends an email with details if you wish.
