I have a classic ASP / VBScript site running on IIS 6 and a program called SmarterStats (found through an earlier question ) that provides various data and server log information. This is an internal site, and we use integrated authentication (AUTH_TYPE = Negotiate).
I am looking at a report on response codes, and he says that over the past 7 days there have been 255 answers with an error code of 5xx ... naturally, not the most useful stat that I could return.
I have an error page for 500 and 500,100 errors that log specifics for me to track - and this log is almost empty. I tested with an intentionally broken page and a standard user account, and it works as expected - a custom message, a log entry has been made. (and checked using "friendly error messages" on / off - works anyway)
The only entry I have in the log is the only entry for error -2147024843 (authentication related, too long to get an answer), and that is ... what other errors can occur and how can I find / track them ?
Do I have to route all the different types of 5xx errors through my user page? Or is there something else I should do?
Resolution: I am going to run all 5xx errors through the user page. For reasons that leave me completely puzzled, the errors stopped ... I didn’t change anything, nobody changed anything on this server, but the errors stopped. Hover over your mouse.
