web.config help

[mbatestblrock]

So I need some help on an asp app. I am very very new to asp, and I am using Microsoft Expression web as a result of this.

I can get my app to work perfectly fine in the testing server that MEW provides. However, when I move it over to my little web server running IIS 6 it does not work! I have configured the server to run asp and all that jazz. It runs my default page real nice which just has two links to the two pages that DONT work.

The two pages are linked to the same access database and all they are doing is pulling a query from access and displaying them in a data grid.

Like I said it works fine in my testing server. I am going to post pictures for you all because they may explain things better than I can!

here is pic of my site setup in Expression Web

Here is a pic of it running in the development server

Here is a shot of the files in my web server
files on actual server

And here is the error I get when trying to run a page.
error on page




I am sure this may be an easy web.config issue. I tried searching and found nothing on this. I am JUST lost and could really use some help.

Thank you everyone so much!

Hello,

I am relatively new to ASP as well, but here is my first suggestion. The error that you are receiving is really just telling you that it can't give you the real error message. If you go into your web.config file and then add or modify the following setting: <customErrors mode="Off"/> you can see more informative error messages. (You will probably want to change this back to "ON" or "REMOTEONLY" when you release the application.) Then you can post again with the detailed error message if you still need help.

Hope this helps!

Sorry I should have posted this in with the post. I have no web.config and when I make it with the recommended settings that were on the page.

<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

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

and then i get this....

I guess my main problem is I do not understand what needs to be in this web file???

I'm pretty sure .aspx is an ASP.NET extension, are you working with .NET or using classic ASP?

[mbatestblrock]

Sorry .net.. is this the wrong place to posting this???

Yes. ASP.NET is what they call web apps made with .NET. It is a different animal than ASP. I have moved it over for you.

Sorry but this is a comedy of errors - you published your asp.net site without a config file and now you are publishing the errors so others can test them for you? Hey we were all new at this once, but at least most of us took a course or studied a book first. Asp.net is challenging, but this is not a teaching site. Suggest you learn the basics and return when you can understand what is going on. I am closing this thread. Thanks.
