Hi Guys,

Im trying to install the dnn4.0.2 but when i upload to the server i get the following error message, now i have tried to do what it suggests but i cannot seem to get further than this message.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Kenny

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>

So, you turned custom errors off and it's still giving you the same issues?

That's odd, but I think I've seen it before. From what I remember, which is quite vague, it worked itself out somehow. Try restarting IIS - run iisreset from the command line.

Hello: What's the error message you are seeing after turning custom errors to "Off"?  You should get much more information.

Thanks!
John
