Hi All,
I have been working on an ASP.NET project on my machine locally for a week and today I finally got to a stage where decided to upload it onto a remote server.
I apologise in advance if this is a tiresome question but I am out of ideas. I did what I normally do in that I used Visual Studio to copy the project to a folder choosing the option to select only files needed to run this application. I put these in a folder on the remote server and put the dll and pdb of this project in the bin folder of the the root of my directory as I usually do.
When I tried to put the address of the aspx i.e. http://www.bigred.me.uk/meb/default.aspx, I got the dreaded Server Error in '/' Application. Are there typical pitfalls that I should look out for?
Also the message instructs me to:
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".
I did this and I still got no more information, so things stand I have no idea what is causing my project not start.
Can anyone either give me a check list of usual suspects that might not allow my project to work or at least tell me how set my webconfig so I can get more information allowing me to get to the bottom of this?
It's very confusing as it works like a dream locally, it's just when I load it onto the remote server when it dies.
Thanks, Dave.
