Question

I m getting the following error when i upload my site to Production Server using Database in App_Data ASPNETDB.MDF

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 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:

<!-- 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
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>

I M CONFUSED WHY THIS ERROR OCCURED ?? AND HIW TO FIX THIS TO DISPLAY WEBSITE …
