I'll try to get my IbuySpy store online but get this error:

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 -->

<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.


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

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


I'll think its because i can't ? make a virtual directory online... this is posible locally where it works well, but if i'll remove the virual directory local i'll get the same error...

How can i get it works wel ?

Greetz,

This is sometimes due to permission on the virtual directory. Make sure permission are set correctly for ASP.NET user. If you do not own the server you may want to contact your hosting company.

hi ..

i got the same error too..i'm using www.webmatrixhostin.net as a host ... anyone can help? i did my best..but it didn't work!!

Maybe i misunderstood but try this goto your web.config file and find the section where it has

customErrors mode=

and set the value like so

<customErrors mode="Off"/>

then retry this time you should receive a detailed error message regarding what went wrong. Most likely you forgot to copy over the .dll over your db connection string is incorrect.

Also make sure if your viewing the page in IE to turn off "Show friendly HTTP error messages" under tools > Internet Options > Advanced

What's the name of the virtual directory you use when it works locally?

I have the same problem where I cannot just copy my local working copy of ibuyspy store to my webmatrix account as locally I have a virtual directory 'vbstore' which is created when you install the ibuyspy store locally. The problem is you cannot create this virtual directory online at webmatrix.

With web matrix, when I deploy the ibuyspy store (commerce starter kit) I assume a virtual directory 'commerce_vb_vs_1' is created.

As I cannot create virtual directories at webmatrix, I cannot simply copy my local store to my web matrix directory.

Has anyone got a quick solution for this?
