hi,

i just got a web host with asp.net , seemed really cool. aspx with the
c# or vb IN the actual main page run fine, but when i use codebehind and
make another source file ( a .cs) to go with the aspx (as you would
realistically) I get this :

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".

----- every damn time, and ive done what it says about the web.config,
ive tried everything. i get nothing back from the tech support at the
minute so im totally in the dark :( . any suggestions please?

thanks

Make sure you web.config looks something like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?><configuration><system.web><compilation debug="true" /><customErrors mode="Off" /></system.web></configuration>

mode="Off" should only be used for debugging purposes. Change it back to "On" after you finish so that everyone doesnt see your code during an exception and stack trace.

Hi

I think the error could be that you have not configured an IIS application
at the
WebApplication1 folder.

Currently it is now taking the root application. Unless you configure an
application in IIS for the folder WebApplication1, your web.config (which is
under the WebApplication1 folder) will not take effect.

let me know if this helps..

"On" after you finish so that everyone doesnt see your code during an
exception and stack trace.
 
How can I alter the IIS? This is a web host I'm using, I can't fiddle
with their IIS! ;)

Some webhosting provider will provide you a "control panel" to configure
these.

In case you dont have such a facility, the best bet you could do is to
configure the web.config at the root of the site .

Just copy the web.config to root and try....

thanks for your dambass response, i'm a .net developer for a large
company in the uk, and i do my job very well. just because i've not
done this through a different host before doesn't mean i 'lack the
knowledge to develop in asp.net', nazi boy!
