Throughout I have only received a single error message. That is
what is so strange about this scenario. Even after I modified
web.config to display the errors, I still got the same error message as
I indicated in my first post. The reason that I am now thinking
the error is ISP related is that the MSSQL application is provided as
an option in their control panel and it doesn't work either, with the
same "custom error mode" error message. I have them working on
it, and so far due to their response to the issue, I have gotten 3
months of service for free out of them. I might go for another 3
months, as it still isn't working. :)
As soon as I get an error message that tells me what kind of error I am
getting I will post it here, even if I can fix it, I will let you know
what the error turned out to be.
My next plan of attack is to modify my connection string in
web.config. I know that it isn't right (but that knowledge is
recent) so I will fix that and see if it changes the error message.
Cheers,

Update: The problem has changed. The above error went away
when I placed the correct connectionstring in the web.config
file. However, I now have a new error... :). The
connectionstring I use is below (I modified the password and username)
Network Library=DBMSSOCN;Data
Source=mssql6.ixwebhosting.com,1433;Initial
Catalog=vbwizar_DotNetNuke;User ID=username;Password=password;
Also, when I visit the URL:
http://www.avalonsource.org/Install//Install.aspx?mode=Install I
get an empty page in IE, and with FireFox it returns an error saying
that it receieved a document containing only <html>
<body> and </html>. I believe I get this repsonse in
Firefox because the Developer Tools are installed.
The root of the website now gives the following error:
Server Error in '/' Application.
