I am trying to debug a web app in Classic ASP on my new server (Windows 2008 x64, IIS7). I can debug this fine on Windows Vista (32bit) IIS7 as it comes with with the error and line number. However, even when turning on the client-side debugging option etc in IIS7 on the 64-bit Windows 2008 machine, it never shows the error message or line number. I always just get an IIS error page saying that there is a problem with the resource and it cannot be displayed.<br />
<br />
The application still works (when there are no errors) on x64 but as soon as theres an error in some code, i get no detailed feedback.<br />
<br />
Hope you can help! Cheers in advance.

Debugging Classic ASP on IIS7 (Win2008 x64)

Active Server Pages (ASP) is Microsoft’s first server-side engine for dynamic web pages. ASP’s support of the Component Object Model (COM) enables it to access and use compiled libraries such as DLLs. It has been superseded by ASP.NET, but will be supported by Internet Information Services (IIS) through at least 2022.

IIS is Internet Information Services, the web server included with Windows Server operating systems. All current versions are built on a modular architecture; modules can be added or removed individually so that those required for specific functionality are installed. The full installation of IIS includes HTTP, security, content, compression, caching, logging and diagnostics.

Microsoft IIS Web Server

Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2, based on the Microsoft Vista codebase, is the last 32-bit server operating system released by Microsoft. It has a number of versions, including including Foundation, Standard, Enterprise, Datacenter, Web, HPC Server, Itanium and Storage; new features included server core installation and Hyper-V.
