iis 7 turning off detailed error reporting causes classic asp error

I am stumped as to why this is happening.

When I turn detailed error reporting off, I get internal server error. When I turn it on my page loads fine.

Has anyone ever come across this sort of thing before?

I suspect your script does have an error being raised somewhere and the error is being hidden somewhere in your HTML.

On the page in question, turn on detailed errors again, browse to the page then do a View Source in your browser and I bet you'll find there's something in there that shouldn't be, but not being rendered by the browser.

For example:

<html>
  <head></head>
  <body>
    <% Response.Write "Just fine" %>
    <div id="noSnapshots" style="display:none">
    <table>

       <tr>
        <% Some error %>
        <td>table cell</td>
      </tr>
    </table>
  </body>
</html>

If I turn on detailed errors in IIS the HTML above appears to render just fine but if I turn them off I get the red, white and grey 500 - Internal server error. page.

Look either of these strings:

An error occurred on the server when processing the URL

or

Microsoft VBScript runtime

This is assuming you haven't altered the Script Error Message in the site's ASP feature pane.
