i was working on my website when i went to view another page i got this error and now i can't get on my site at all.

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>

joefdm,

If you have access to the web.config file -- I would suggest finding the customErrors node and setting the mode attribute to "Off" so that you will see a more explicit error message. If this does expose a more detailed error message and you are still not able to resolve the problem please post that error message here. If you have made this change and it does not expose a more detailed error message please let us know as many details about your dotnetnuke environment and what happened when the error started as you can.

hope that helps,

Ian

i don't have acces to the web config file they are on my godaddy host account.  i lost the whole site. godaddy says i have to reinstall dotnetnuke which will wipe my files.  any body have an idea to fix this or stop it from happening again?  all i was doing was building my web page. i went from one paage to the next and it showed that error. i went off line and tried to get back online and got the error again.  now when i try to pull up my site i get a install dotnetnuke wizard.
