I just broke my working portal in an attempt to add a new custom module.  I used the start kit in VS2005 to add a new module and followed the normal Host -> SQL steps for adding it.  I have added a number of other modules in this manner with success.

 

I did make a backup of the (hosted) database before adding the latest module.

 

When I added the new module to a page I immediately received the error below:

 

 

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>

 

I restored the backup and still get the same error message when going to the site URL.  More over, the web.config file contains the settings shown in the error message so I am guessing that the error may be that the config is not being seen.

 

I would appreciate any help and advice.
