Are you getting frustrated with “An unexpected error has occurred” in sharepoint 2007? I found some useful tips. You can get more error messages from MOSS especially when they are not written to the application log. Do follow the steps below to get more:
1. Go into the web.config and set custom errors to off:
<customErrors mode=”Off” />
2. Turn on tracing and the callstack by setting both to true:
<SafeMode MaxControls=”200″ CallStack=”true” DirectFileDependencies=”10″ TotalFileDependencies=”50″ AllowPageLevelTrace=”true”>
3. There can be valuable info in the Event Log, so check there for more information on any exceptions that may have been thrown.

…thanks for the great info… a little off-topic but when I turn that on I get a wierd error…
…I try to go to >ListSettings, >Settings, >TitleAndDescription…
…it tries to load this page…
https://www.MyName1.com/sites/MyName2/_layouts/ListGeneralSettings.aspx?List=%7B08470502%2D4721%2D4445%2DA906%2DE99265783BFF%7D
…and it shows this error…
Value does not fall within the expected range. at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPListTemplateCollection.FindServerTemplate(Guid featureId, Int32 templateType)
at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPList.get_ServerTemplate()
at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPList.get_OnQuickLaunch()
at Microsoft.SharePoint.ApplicationPages.ListGeneralSettingsPage.OnLoad(EventArgs e)
at System.Web.UI.Control.LoadRecursive()
at System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint)
…so do you happen to have any kind hints?
Please advise.
Thank you.
