Server Error in Application

[DotNetJunkies User]

Good day dotnet gurus!

I'm getting the following error and I do not know how to solve it:

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>



Your contribution is highly appreciable!

this error occurs when you are accessing the page from remote machines..try
it from the local system (i mean on your server). you will get exact error.

you can also change your web.config to <customErrors mode="Off"/> (thats
what the error says).

When you do what it says about changing the web.config file, what error do
you see?
