I was installing a module into DotNetNuke 5.6.2. The process went all the way through towards the end where it says installation complete or something similar and then you click Return to land back in module definitions. Well it hung for a while once I clicked return and now if I try to access the site I arrive at the message below. We are supposed to roll out this site on Monday, so I am in big trouble. I do have access to the server as well as host account if that means anything.

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>

Hi,

Edit your web.config and make the change outlined in the message above (ie. setting the mode="Off") in the customErrors element and then try your site again. You should then receive a better error message that you can get help with.
