Can't get errors to show

I created an ASP.NET app and now that I've put it on the hosts' server, I
can't get the errors to show up. I get the old error about setting
customError's mode attribute to "Off" to be able to see the errors.

I have of course, changed the customError's mode attribute to "Off" (case as
shown here), and it didn't work.

The original directory name was longer than 8 characters but I cut it down
to 7 characters because of a bug that is/was in ASP.NET that also caused
this error.

Also, I created a simple .aspx page that simply has a label on it and when
trying to display that page, I still get the same error about customErrors,
so it seems there's more going on that just the custom errors.

I'm stuck, though. Nothing I've tried seems to work. I've set read and
execute permissions on the both the folder with the app and the bin
directory. No dice.

Any other ideas on what I can try? I've tried browsing through the
newsgroup, but nothing I've tried has worked yet.

Thanks.

Pete,
There's a setting for the virtual directory in IIS that can be changed to send a detailed error message to the requesting client. If you have access to the IIS settings, it can be modified by clicking on the the Configuration button, then the App Debugging tab.

Unfortunately, this is with a hosting service. I have no such access to IIS.
Their control panel allows me to set ACLs for the directories and files.
That's about it.
