Deployment Problems

[Mike]

I just finished writing an ASP.NET application on my local box. Everything
worked great so I am trying to deploy it on out company intranet.

The problem I have is that I am getting a Runtime Error and im not sure what
it is.

This is the error Im getting:

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.


I went into he web.config file and my the change to get it to show detailed
error. This is the change I made.

<customErrors mode="Off" />

But even though I made the change the error page isn't any different.

Do I have to stop and start the website? I though I wouldn't have to do
that with ASP.NET.
Or is there something Im missing??

Thanks in advance.

No it should take immediately as any change made in web.config causes the
app to reload itself.

Make sure you're not caching (client) and make sure that you've set this up
in the right section of Web.Config

configuration
system.web
customErrors

I just tried loading the page from hte actual web server and I am getting
the sames error page with no details of the error.

Is there something not set up correctly on the web server?

Thanks,

Mike
