Grab the error?
Does anyone know if it is possible to show the reported error from a 500 Internal Server Error. On my new server, I can configue how the internal_server_error.htm file looks...but I want to know if I can actually display the error reported.

Maybe something like $! ???

Cheers

Huh?

With Perl you would use FatalstoBrowser or whatever the module name is called.

If you want to tail the error_log and throw it out as your 500 page, then write a script that will tail your error_log and refer to that script when your server throws up a 500 error.

Mmm..what I want to do is show the current cause for the 500 IS Error. I know I could use FatalsToBrowser, but that would need to be in each script. The thing I want to do is customize the actual 500 IS Error page. I have the page in front of me now...I just need to know how I could show the error reported on it :-/

Well... Don't make it into a static page -- make it into a page that tails the last x amount of errors from your error_log. Use something like PHP, Perl, Python -- whatever your happy with.
