asp classic - Detailed 500 error message, ASP + IIS 7.5

Question

IIS 7.5 , 2008rc2, classic asp, 500 error msg:

The page cannot be displayed because an internal server error has occurred.

I need to know how to configure IIS to get a more detailed error.
I've tried setting to true all of debugging options in the ASP configuration.
But that didn't work. Can anyone help me?

I have come to the same problem and fixed the same way as Alex K.

So if "Send Errors To Browser" is not working set also this:

Error Pages -> 500 -> Edit Feature Settings -> "Detailed Errors"

Also note that if the content of the error page sent back is quite short and you're using IE, IE will happily ignore the useful content sent back by the server and show you its own generic error page instead. You can turn this off in IE's options, or use a different browser.
