[doomster]

Hi,

Recently we upgraded our Windows 2000 servers to Windows 2003. One of
our websites which was working fine previouslyis now displaying ...

'Server Error in '/' Application' along with with some details on
configuring web.config

I have modified the web.config to get a more detailed error and this is
what i got...

I would redeploy the web app from scratch.
backup, remove old, add new.

Fixed issue. Upgrading to IIS6.0 and running the IISlockdown tool added
the IIS_WPG deny NTFS permission to the web root folder. Removed this
and it worked fine afterwards.
