Hi I am getting this error when I try to run aspx files on IIS 5 with windows 2000 server.
Server Error in '/' Application The files run fine on my testing server.
Here is the web.config in xml format
*********************************

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
- <configuration>
- <appSettings>
<add key="ConnectionString" value="server=(local);database=SamplePortal;uid=sa ;pwd=" />
<add key="OnlineTimeout" value="300" />
<add key="CuteChat.ConnectionStringProvider" value="SamplePortal.CuteChatIntegration.DataProvid er,Sampleportal" />
</appSettings>
- <system.web>
<customErrors mode="Off" />
- <authentication mode="Forms">
<forms name=".UserManagementASPXAUTH" loginUrl="~/Login.aspx" />
</authentication>
- <authorization>
- <!-- <deny users="?" />
-->
<allow users="*" />
</authorization>
</system.web>
</configuration>
***************************************

Please suggest.

If you put an html doc in the app does that work? (ie, show in the browser)
What about an asp document?
If you create a simple aspx, will it load into an external browser?
(Trying to ascertain where the server drops the ball.)

Hello BrianWren,

Thanks for the reply.

Yes I tried both html page and an asp page that was accessing SQL database and they work perfectly fine. No problems at all in any functionality. Only when it comes to aspx files, I am getting that error.

thank you,

Hello BrianWren,

I just managed to fix it. The error occured because the default set of configuration values in web.config require IIS to treat the web site as an application but this was not configured. Iconfigured it as an application.
Also the server name was given incorrect value in the connection string (web.config file), I set it to 127.0.0.1.

Thanks for your Help and Time,
Palwinder
