hi,

 after uploading my files into the server i got an error like this in web.config.what changes i have to made...?

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".



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


Notes: The current error page you are seeing can be replaced by a custom error page by modifying the "defaultRedirect" attribute of the application's <customErrors> configuration tag to point to a custom error page URL.



<configuration>
    <system.web>
        <customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="mycustompage.htm"/>
    </system.web>
</configuration>

thanks in advance-ashokparchuri

This is telling you that an error occurred but your web.config is not configured to show you what the error is. You need to follow the instructions outlined in the error message to turn on error message display.

hi...

 First of all thanks for your reply...but in this problem i don't want to display any message so that only i set the custom errors as off.when the custom errors mode is off.,it should forgot about redirecting to some predefined page and i thought it'll diplay some non-user friendly messages...so why is it showing error message...?
-Ashok Parchuri

I guess I'm still not clear on what you want to do. Do you wish to see the error messages in detail so you can fix a problem? Do you wish to supress all error messages?

<customErrors mode="Off"/> will allow you to see details about the error

<customErrors mode="On"/> will send you to the defined page based on the error code. However, this requires you to define the error code to page mapping in the config file.

<customErrors mode="RemoteOnly"/> will perform just like "On" when you connect from a remote machine (not localhost). This is most useful because you don't have to worry about forgetting to change it when you deploy the app but can still see the error details while developing.

hey...
thanks for your reply....

i got another problem.....with web.config....
i just uploaded to web.config with off state i am getting the same message as i posted first..then i uploaded in "remoteonly mode" i am getiindg same error.

   i just modified web.config in all the three modes on,off,remoteonly....for any mode i am getting the same message...

what should i do...?

Hey,

   I tried a lot and still i am getting same error.please let me know where we have to upload web.config file..is there is any location(like root directory) i have to upload web.config file...?

  please help me...-Ashok Parchuri

You have to load the web.config into the application root. This means it can either be the IIS root (if that is where the application is based) or to the virtual application root. If you upload the file into a directory underneath the application root, .NET will throw an error telling you that you can't put certain config nodes in a config file there. This tells you you are 1 or more directories too deep.

One thing to check on when you upload the file:
When you make changes to web.config the application will reset itself and the next page hit should be considerably slower because it's recompiling itself. If you make changes to the .config file and you don't see this delay, you are probably not putting the file in the right place.

This Gives Run Time Error on running website on remote server..
Please any one can help me what i have to do??

Hi there,

It would help you posted the actual error message. If you don't have one, try looking in the servers' Event VIewer.

Also, try pasting this in a new web site's web.config in Visual Studio and then look at the Errors list for errors and warnings. Do you see anything?
