Hi,

I like the idea, but I'm on the shared server.... they only allow 500 error replacement page with htm or html extension. I don't have a local server running, could you possibly do me a big favor and modify the new page to only display the filename and the few lines of code with the highlighted error that will be viewed by end user on a client browser? I will use that page temporarily until bugs in apps are ironed out =)

That is not possible with a .htm or .html file.

what if we use
<META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" content="1;URL=http://.../error/500-100.asp">

That should do the trick? this way we just need the asp page to display the highlited code with the error to the client, just until the app is working properly.

I'm using that right now, but all I get is the client error message, rather than hghlighted source code

I got it to work using permanent redirect from the .htm file that can be designated to the actual .asp file.

that link generates 500

If you could only make the changes that would display the highlighted code to the end user, with file name and email me but without ability to edit the page, that would be great =)
