I am bit rusty at .net and totally green at DNN, so go easy on me as I inherited the portal administration with the new job.

I am getting the common error message:    

Server Error in '/Myfpcn' 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>

What I did before recieving this error is this:

I tried to add a sub tab under my contacts tab, but something funky happened when I finished.  There was an error message at the top of my central column - pretty non-descript

To solve this I tried resetting the server that hosts the portal.  Upon being restarted I got the error you see above when tring to view the portal.

I appreciate any help on this.
