Error running project with subfolder web.config

Hi all,

I'm working through examples on configuring ASP.NET (all on local machine).
The first exercise deals with the customErrors in the config files. The
machine.config file has a customErrors mode set to RemoteOnly and the
application's web.config has it set to On with a redirect for a 404 error.
This works fine.

However, when I add a subfolder to the application and place a web.config
file in there (from the IDE so I'm not just manually introducing typos) then
run, I get the error:

Error while trying to run project: Unable to start debugging on the web
server. Server side-error occurred on sending debug HTTP request.

It continues to happen whether I leave the subfolder's web.config alone or
change the customErrors setting. The <CustomErrors > element of the
machine.config' s <configSectio n> does not specify any allowDefinition
restrictions (which I'm told would default to allowing "sub-configs"
anywhere).

Any idea where to look next?

TIA,

John

Not all of the sections are allowed in subfolders. Use only what you need.

Thanks, Rick.

Sounds more plausible than anything I've come up with!

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
