Display error message (IIS)

How can I display detailed error messages?

Would you like to display detailed error messages in IIS?
You can easily enable this yourself in the web.config file.

Just add the following line inside the <system.webServer> tag:

<httpErrors errorMode="Detailed"/>

If the web.config file does not yet exist, you need to create it first.

Example of a new configuration file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<httpErrors errorMode="Detailed"/>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>

Important note:

  • Once this option is enabled, you can no longer define custom HTTP error messages.

  • This function is only available on Windows / IIS.
