If you get a 500 Server error on a production server you do not see any exception details (for security reasons). To turn this custom error pages off, modify the following secion in the Web.Config file:

<system.web>
   <customErrors mode="Off"/>
</system.web>

If you want to see detailed errors from local access, but custom errors from remote, set it to:

<system.web>
   <customErrors mode="RemoteOnly"/>
</system.web>

In case you still don't see detailed errors, your application settings could be overriden by the machine.configfile: Set the retail attribute of the deployment element to false:

<deployment retail="false" />
