Sorry if I'm a little off subject here, but I'm really desperate.

I've been using the portal now for over 6 months with no problems, but for the past few days a strange problem has been occurring. On my development machine, I browse to a particular tab that is error free and it functions just fine. When I introduce a change to that same tab that has an error (like a just mistype a variable name or something), usually (if debug=true) it would give me a detailed error message describing what the error was and the line number of where I could find the problem, etc. Now, out of nowhere, it started redirecting me to some "Page Not Found" error instead. Obviously, if I get a Page Not Found error everytime there's an error, it is not gonna help me fix anything. I tested it on my live server and it behaved as it should....only my development machine is acting weird.

I have not changed anything on my computer lately, but my boss said he altered some Services on my computer after the whole Blaster fiasco. I have reversed his changes but that doesn't help. I don't even know where to look/begin in fixing this problem...but I NEED to get the whole error reporting thing functioning again. I can't be testing changes on my live server. If anyone has any advice, please let me know. Thanks! ^_^

Hi again,

I still haven't found a solution and it's really screwing things up. I rely heavily on the generated error messages to figure out if there's something wrong in my code. Is there a setting that I need to adjust? Do I need to uninstall and re-install anything? Any advice is vastly appreciated. Thanks!

i can't see how blaster fix's would break your portal as they were all netbios related. Does that tab use windows authentication? Check and see if your boss downloaded all available patches, as he may have upgraded your version of .net from 1 to 1.1, which might have messed up your IIS mappings. Try going to DOS, changing to C:\WINNT\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.xxxx (where xxxx is the version of the .net framework you want), and running aspnet_regiis.exe . You can uninstall using the -u switch and then reinstall using -i.

I'm not sure why the error messages would stop, but you can simply track the page via the debugger. If you don't have a copy of visual studio, then use the DbgCLR.exe from the .net SDK. It can be found at \sdk\v1.1\GuiDebug.
