 I'd be tempted to FTP up a web.config file with
<customErrors mode="Off"/>

Then you'll see the error. Be sure to set it back to "RemoteOnly" when
you're done.

debugging, and I do not know if debugging is enabled for the server.  Forget
about being included in a debugging group on the server.  What do I do to
diagnose the situation via FTP only?  Cannot connect to the website with
Visual Studio 2003 but FrontPage 2002 can connect.
