Custom 500 Error Pages

TheMSsForum.com: The Microsoft Software Forum

I've set up a custom 500 error ASP page that displays when
I deliberately force a 500 error. In IE this page displays
AS LONG AS THE VBSCRIPT CODE doesn't exceed 165 characters.
Netscape thinks I'm trying to download a file of type
application/octet-stream.

Is there anything I can tweak in IIS to resolve this problem?


I already posted this problem to asp.general but I got no
replies.

Are you specifying the custom page as a URL?

We followed the instructions from ASPFAQ article #2335 for
tracking ASP errors. In IIS Manager, we set the custom
500;100 error message to URL: /500_try.asp.
