I’m developing an asp.net application on windows 7 visual studio 2010, then publishing it to a Headless (NO GUI) linux server which runs mono.

I’m getting the error that tells you viewing errors from a remove machine is not possible unless you do some magic on the web.config.
enter image description here

Usually, i remote desktop into the server and load the page so i can see the error. But in this case since the server is headless i cannot do that. I don’t really feel like doing a wget or curl… I just want to pull up the error in a browser. HOW CAN I DO THAT?

I’ve tried doing what the error message says and this is what my current web.config looks like:

<configuration>
    <system.web>
        <compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.0" />
        <customErrors mode="Off"/>
    </system.web>
</configuration>

    I am uncertain as to why the change to web.config doesn’t work, it certainly looks correct.

    Are you able to install firefox on the headless server?

    If so you could run an X server on your development machine (like XMing) and forward the xsession over SSH
