Hi, my DNN 6 website shows me a page that says to create a <customError tag so i did as mentioned as on that page like

<configuration>   
<system.web>
        <customErrors mode="Off"/>

    </system.web>
    </customErrors>

</configuration>

upload then refresh the browser then i saw anther screen with a gray strip at the top that says Server Error, then a white box with gray thin border says

500 - Internal server error.

There is a problem with the resource you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed.

any idea why i am not seen the correct error info and why this web site start showing me Server Error page for no reason, thanks all

you have the closing tab for system.web inside your customErrors tag in your example.

If the original config file is also like that you can begin by reversing those two lines.

Sorry but is this a new config file you created somewhere? If yes, you can delete the file you have created, it is in the wrong place and the sysntax you have added to the file is wrong.

In the root of your dnn installation there should already be a file called web.config - that is the file you need to edit.

Inside that file there should already be a < system.Web> section consisting of several other tags. One of the existing tags should be < customErrors> and you should only be changing the value of that existing tag.
