Web.config file

Hello,
The file structure on the server is:

/FileUpload
- Web.config
- upload.aspx

I try to run the upload.aspx but it gives me a runtime error message like
this:
----------------
Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom
error settings for this application prevent the details of the application
error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however,
be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine.

Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable
on remote machines, please create a <customErrors > tag within a "web.config "
configuration file located in the root directory of the current web
application. This <customErrors > tag should then have its "mode" attribute
set to "Off".
--------------

Web.config file is like this:
---------
<configuratio n>

<system.web>
<customErrors mode="Off"/>
</system.web>

</configuration>
-----------

The same file works on my local server. What can be the reason?

Have you modified the web.config file, with the tag: <customErrors
mode="Off"/>

For security purposes, ASP.NET will only show errors when you view the site
on the local machine. In your case, as you are viewing the files from a
server, you need to turn off the custom errors, so that you can see the
error message, which will help you to debug the problem.

Hope this helps,

Mun

There have been a couple of config file 'systems' announced recently, that focus on building more powerful and complex configuration files. ConfigObj is a module to enable you to much more *simply* access config files. This is version 3, which is a big overhaul. It extends ConfigObj to reading config files with sections and various other simplifications. I find ConfigObj extremely easy to use and use it for reading config files and data...

Ok, I wanted to ask this separate from nospam's ridiculous thread in hopes it could get some honest attention.

I am working on a web app that I want to be able to use a separate config file on, in addition to the web.config file that's already working in the application. If I put the following in the web.config file (VS 2005, Framework 2.0), I can retrieve the values fine: <appSettings> <add key="fileInputFolder" value="C:\National City Downloads\test"/> <add key="fileTransaction" value="\Transactions\"/>
