I have developed a web service with the .asmx extension using C# and i want to deploy this into my VPS which has Windows Server 2003 with IIS 6.

Service is running with Framework 4.0 and it’s installed in the VPS also. When I upload the precompiled version into the VPS it shows a runtime error

Server Error in ‘/’ Application.

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
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>

can anyone help me on this?

    You should enable debugging to diagnose the problem.
    Microsoft has a very detailed explanation on how to enable detailed debugging over here. 

    Server Error in '/' Application.

    That error is too generic, check the output after you enabled debugging and post the results.
    And don’t forget to disable debugging after your site goes live.

    Update:
    Seems to be permission related:
    http://forums.iis.net/p/1042369/1454379.aspx
    The ASPNET user account needs permissions for the folder that contains your asmx service.

    Update2:
    You can give the ASPNET user permissions using the file system permission dialog:

    Might look different on newer versions of Windows.
