Your first question about mangled url is, its the session id that you are
seeing in the url. In your web.config, check the sessionState element, in it
check to see that "cookieless" attribure is set to true. If you do not have
a sessionState element in the web.config, then go open your machine.config
file and check the sessionState element in it.

And your second question., its tough to answer, because its a generic
message asp.net throws when you have the customErrors set to RemoteOnly
either in the web.config or machine.config. So, you need to debug on the
remote server where this error is occuring, or turnoff the remoteOnly
feature to see it from anywhere

Good Luck
