So I have been developing a small ASP.NET web app in C# for my company over the past few weeks and now I am trying to push it onto our Rackspace server. First step was to create a virtual directory because we want it to be http://www.ourdomain.com/appname/ and most of the stuff on ourdomain.com is currently in classic ASP. So I did this and then uploaded my stuff to the new folder. I *think* I did this at least semi-right because the error message I am getting is that nice puke color (ASP.NET style instead of classic ASP style) — problem is it is generic and just saying runtime error. I tried just copy/pasting <customErrors mode="On" /> into the web.config file in the /appname/ directory but nothing changed

So the actual questions are:

  • How can I get a more descriptive error, when I was developing locally I just pushed the “play button” in VS2010 and it would either show me the app or tell me where I screwed up
  • Is there anything else I’m doing wrong that may be causing this? If there’s things I need to check lemme know!

    You need <customErrors mode="Off" />
