The web.config by default is set to only show the stack trace to the user if
they are running the browser from the web server.  If you are on another
machine it will give you an entirely different message telling the user
about web.config.

If you do a quick search of google you can find a snippet of code and
instructions on how to catch any unhandled web app errors through the
global.asax and take action upon them from there (emailing someone,
whatever..).
