Can someone double check a few things for me as I'm having no joy in getting
my project to work on our webserver.

Out server is a Win2K box.

It does NOT have Frontpage Server extensions installed.

My project on my local machine is called HBITL_UMC

The files needed to run my project have been copied into a virtual directory
on our server called "VN"

Therefore, whilst there IS a virtual directory called VN, and there IS a
file called default.aspx, the BIN directory in the virtual directory has
hbitl_umc.dll and hbitl_umc.pdb.

The error message I am getting is...


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>




The web.config file DOES have it's customerErrors set to "Off" (case
correct), and the authentication is set to "None" (case correct).

Based on the above, does anyone have any ideas as to why I'm getting the
error message.

TIA
 
I really doubt if your http request has reached the web
application.
Reason: Server Error in '/' Application
in the first line of ur error message. If u have any
virtual directory set up, the error message shoudl show as
Server Error in '/VN' Application
Where VN is ur virtual directory name.
Btw, ur server name is VN and ur virtual directory name is
also VN?
Then r u trying to access ur site as
http://VN/VN/default.aspx
???

Should have been

"The files needed to run my project have been copied into a virtual
directory which is called "VN" on our server"

Note that the error message does not mention "VN". This suggests that "VN"
is not set up as an application in IIS. Look at the Home Directory tab in
the IIS properties for "VN" and click the "Create" button if necessary.
