Question

I develop a web application it is working fine in local.
When i upload the site in online through CuteFTP it is showing the error like this…

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 tag within a
“web.config” configuration file
located in the root directory of the
current web application. This
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>

please help me i place the but even though it is not working it is giving same error. Thank you

Did you create a custom errors section in your web.config? See here for more details: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/h0hfz6fc(VS.71).aspx

As the error message says you need to set this to “Off” to see errors remotely.

You could also look at the event logs on the server for clues.

If you have remote desktop access to the server you can try logging on there and connecting to localhost and see what that tells you.
