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>

<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

<configuration>
    <system.web>
        <customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="mycustompage.htm"/>
    </system.web>
</configuration>

Server Error in '/' Application.

Runtime Error

If you turn custom errors to "Off", and still get that message it usually means one of these has occurred:

1. You have the wrong .NET version selected in IIS
2. Your web.config has a syntax error (brackets not closed etc).  Rename it to web.config.xml and open in IE, it must open with no errors.  Dont forget to rename it back again afterwards

There are also some rarer cases (like the one suggested above).  But try the 2 main problems first.

JK.

just a update manged to get round that

there was config in the root which i got to

renamed it and got a little futher

now come up with the following error

ine 87: <system.web>
Line 88:     <!-- Ensure validationkey is not set to AutoGenerate,IsolateApps so it correctly supports webfarms -->
Line 89: <machineKey
Line 90:   validationKey="AutoGenerate,IsolateApps"
Line 91:   decryptionKey="F9D1A2D3E1D3E2F7B3D9F90FF3965ABDAC304902F8D923AC"

i now presume like it says is the folder this is located is not a "This error can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an application in IIS."

is there anythign else this could be

thanks
