SharePoint Error Page
There are two steps you need to perform in order to configure SharePoint for detailed ASP.Net error messages, avoiding the standard SharePoint Error screen (which is sometimes not very informative). I always forget the second step so I thought I'd write it down here!
Modify web.config in two places....
1. Change the customErrors mode to RemoteOnly:
<configuration>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" />
2. Set the SafeMode CallStack to true:
<configuration>
<SharePoint>
<SafeMode CallStack="true"
You will now get detailed ASP.Net error messages when browsing locally on the SharePoint server.
