Hi All,

I recently created a hello world ASP.NET page and hosted it with
my host. But it seems to come up with the following error.
____________________________________________________________________________
_________________________

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".



<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.



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

But actually I do have ' <customErrors mode="Off"/>' in my web.config.
Which means that ASP.NET is not picking up settings from my Web.config, but
probably from web.config in some parent directory, over which I have no
control(being in a hosted enviro.).

The wierdest thing is that, I get this error for any request with ASPX
extension. Even if the file doesn't exist!

I am a total novice to ASP.NET....but it does seem to me that my Application
goes crazy even before actually checking if the file exists.

Has anyone of you seen this evil error before? Also could it be that my
folder is not configured as an application?

thanks
G

It could be an error in the web.config file itself, or in the global.asax
file, or it could even be that the permissions are incorrect on the site.

Yes that web.config should exist in your web site's document root, not your
particular sub-directory. How can you not have your own web site though?
You are riding on a reseller are you?

So do I, I have the similiar situation. The web.config only detects off a parent directory. And I have no control nor the permission for this directory.

Does anyone knows how to build a solution in sub directory only?

I had the same problem, I did two things and then it started working. I don't know if the combination worked or only one item made the fix.

First, I place web.config in 4 different files. I removed all instances except in the virtual directory of my web application.

Next I added the line at the top that specifies the format of the xml file. Mine looks like this.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

Hope this helps
