Getting this error right off the bat, brand new system setup with w3k all patchs, latest framework .net 2.0(for testing purposes) i can't seem to get pass this any suggestions?

I already tried changing the web.config file and nothing happens same error.

Server Error in '/' Application.

Runtime Error

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

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

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

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

Did you do exactly as this error tells you to do? You need to make sure you set the customErrors mode attribute to "Off" so that you can see the error. Your error is being masked right now.

 thanks for the quick response, here is the file after i changed the settings;

 Thanks.

You should now see a more explicit error when you run your site.

 Instead of running the project in debugging mode, try and execute by Ctrl + F5, and see if the error persists!

 If i try to access the site through http://admar.webhop.org/trial i get the same error message even after the changes.

Hi,

Based on your description, you have already canged customErrors mode to off in web.config but it's the same still.

My suggestion is to check if customErrows mode in IIS has been changed,(IIS->your web site->properties->ASP.NET Tab->Edit configuration->custom Errors->mode to off )

Then you should see the specific errors.

Hope your feedback.
