Turning Custom Errors off

[Mark A. Sam]

Hello I am working locally with Visual Web Developer 2005 Express. Before I
even installed it, the information from Microsoft was that you could FTP it
to a remote site and it should work. The site I FTP'd to has .Net Framework
2.0 installed. I got this error when I tried to open the site:

Runtime Error
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 Configuration File -->

<configuratio n>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="Off"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>

I pasted the line
<customErrors mode="Off"/>

into the web.config file within the <system.web> tags but still getting the
same page, and not an error page. I'm not sure why there would be an error.

Thanks for any help and God Bless,

Mark A. Sam

Can you add your web.config file?

Your web.config file looks fine.

Have you verified t the framework version that is being used on the remote
machine?(The machine that you have FTPed to)
Make sure that IIS is using framework 2.0. If you are not sure, you can run
the aspnet_regiis.e xe tool that resides in the folder
C:\WINDOWS\Micr osoft.NET\Frame work\v2.0.50727 assuming your are using the
framework version 2.0.50727. You have to run this tool from command prompt
with an option -i.

aspnet_regiis.e xe -i

I believe this is the problem.

Also I see that you are using Windows authentication. Make sure the user,
who is using the website has the required credentials. Otherwise change the
authentication mode.

Let me know if the problem is solved.

I don't have access to the folder you listed. This is a hosted site, but I
emailed tech support to verify that .net framework 2.0 is installed. I am
not sure why you cited IIS. I recall from the information on the microsoft
site that one advange of using ASP.net is that you don't need IIS.

As long as you are gonig to monitor this, maybe you can help me with another
issue before I post it. I placed some .jpg images on a page and tried to
replaced them with .gif images with the same names, and cannot remove them.
I began by changing the extentions from .jpg to .giv in the properties
sheet. This had the effect of both sets of images being on the form. I
then tried and tried to delete the .jpg's, but they keep returning. They
show that they are deleted until I open the page in a browser or I close and
open the page in design view. This page is not associated with any master
pages.

Thanks for the help and God Bless,
