Help, please advise how to solve this problem below?

 

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 <customErrors> 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>

Always tell us where you got the error.  For this one, on an initial setup there are some obvious possibilities, in an existing working site they would be different.  Also, when you get an error like this, that tells you what you can do to fix or diagnose tyhe error, tell us if you have tried what the error message suggests.  If you haven't, tell us why.

The most common cause of this is not configuring the folder DNN is in as an application in IIS.

One of the common problems that can create this error is not setting the ASP settings to 2.0 in IIS.  You can do this by right-clicking the Virtual Directory, selecting properties, clicking the ASP.NET tab and making sure the version is set to 2.0XXXXXX.   The other thing is, follow the exact instructions on the page.  You need to set the custom errors mode to off in your web.config file.  By doing so you will get a more detailed stack trace that will point you to a possibility of what is creating the problem. 

I am hoping that a few people will view this, and I am not trying to be rude, but you are probably new to programming in ASP .NET as well.  Regardless of the language you use, VB or C#, you should have seen this screen at least once before if you develop in ASP .NET.  This screen is a sure indicator that something is wrong with the program itself, be it a module or DNN itself.  I have seen this exact same posting several times in the forums and each time I have had the same thing to say, follow the instructions on the screen and then post the error as this screen tells you nothing about the actual problem.  Also, I would suggest that you watch some basic programming videos located on the www.asp.net website to familiarize yourself with the basics in programming ASP .NET as it will help you with problems like this in the future.
