Web Config File CustomError

[Sumith Asanka]

Hi Guys

i have this error in my asp.net 4.0 application , i am strugling to find out
why it is working perfect on my local iis server, but throws this error on web iis server

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".

here i have given my we.config file cose as wel
thanks

If your web.config file is saved in the root directory and you have customErrors, set to off, you should be seeing the actual error instead of the message above.

It has to be in the root directory

Hi JorgeM

Here i am sending 2 screen Shots on My Lcal PC Published folder and FileZila on Web server just see whether you can see any problem there ?

Yet I get this error, just got fedup with this error

You are going to have to contact the provider to figure out what's going on, or if they are overriding your web.config file settings. Again, if you have customErrors, set to off, you should be seeing the actual error instead of the message above.
