I'm running a Windows Server 2012 R12 running IIS8.
I have a classic ASP website running on it, and for the most part it runs fine. The website gets about 1.5 million page views per month (approx 400,000 unique page views).
I have a custom error page for 500.100 script errors, which stores details about the error in a database and sends me an email so I know if a page errors.
I have them set up via this in web.config:
<httpErrors errorMode="Custom" defaultResponseMode="ExecuteURL"><remove statusCode="500" subStatusCode="100" /><remove statusCode="500" subStatusCode="-1" /><remove statusCode="404" subStatusCode="-1" /><error statusCode="404" path="/error_404.asp" responseMode="ExecuteURL" /><error statusCode="500" prefixLanguageFilePath="" path="/error_500.asp" responseMode="ExecuteURL" /><error statusCode="500" subStatusCode="100" path="/error_500.asp" responseMode="ExecuteURL" /></httpErrors>
On the error_500.asp the page includes this code:
On Error Resume Next
Response.Clear
Dim objError
Set objError = Server.GetLastError()
set objError = Server.getLastError()
strNumber = objError.AspCode
strSource = objError.Category
strDesc = newstr(objError.Description)
strCode = newstr(objError.Source)
strLine = ObjError.Line
strASPDesc = ObjError.ASPDescription
strRemoteAddr = Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_ADDR")
ref = request.servervariables("HTTP_REFERER")
str = request.servervariables("QUERY_STRING")
cookies = request.servervariables("HTTP_COOKIE")
ip_url = strRemoteAddr
ua = newstr(request.servervariables("HTTP_USER_AGENT"))
totalstring = objError.File & "?" & strFor some reason, I often get errors like this:
strNumber: strSource: strDesc: strCode: strLine: 0 strASPDesc: strRemoteAddr: 98.168.145.166 ref: http://example.com/content/another-page.asp str: 500;http://example.com/content/this-page.asp cookies: ASPSESSIONIDQQRTDDBQ=IBBOMHEDGEEGKAPPLDGLDHLE; _ga=GA1.3.1626071938.1497868025; _gid=GA1.3.629715385.1497868026; _gat=1; __gads=ID=c83d077246e96531:T=1497868028:S=ALNI_MY2v7GwftRZ5EMHIdi_5lEA8TDAgQ ip_url: 98.168.145.166 ua: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/58.0.3029.110 Safari/537.36 totalstring: ?500;http://example.com/content/this-page.asp
So I can see the page is erroring, but there is no error message, or line number, or anything else.
I don't know how to find out more about these errors, and wondered if anyone might be able to advise please?
Sometimes I have had up to 10,000 of these all at the same time, which I presume is a hacking attempt, but I am not sure how I can run more detailed debugging etc?
I don't want to log everything on the site as it might fall over if I start doing that, possibly?
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
