All error messages with stack traces are written to the system log. When using systemd, the logs of each systemd service can be browsed with `journalctl -u mastodon-web` (substitute with the correct service name). When using Docker, it's similar: `docker logs mastodon_web_1` (substitute with the correct container name).
Specific details of server-side errors are *never* displayed to the public, as they can reveal what your setup looks like internally and give attackers clues how to get in, or how to abuse the system more efficiently.
Each response from Mastodon's web server carries a header with a unique request ID, which is also reflected in the logs. By inspecting the headers of the error page, you can easily find the corresponding stack trace in the log.
