Sharepoint uses custom error messages to give human readable error message. Unfortunately the error is almost always “Unknown error occurred”.
This is really anoying since it does not help you at all as to what the problem is.
When you set up a new web application, go edit your web.config right away to get rid of this.
What we need to turn off is “custom errors” and turn callstack on. That way we see the actual errormessage and we also see the callstack, in case that help us.
Search for CallStack. Change it’s value to “true”.
Result:
Search for “customErrors. Change it to “off”
Result:
Off means we turn off the “friendly” error messages, since most people don’t really find them that friendly.
