.NET Forum / ASP.NET / General / October 2007customErrors mode="off"
Although in my web.config I have <customErrors mode="off" /> I still get no detailed errors. How comes ? THX This is what I get: Server Error in '/mywebfolder'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 1. Are you using multiple web.config files? Check all of them. 2. What about machine.config?

[quoted text clipped - 53 lines] > > </system.web> > > </configuration The machine.config file provides settings for the entire machine, not only for a single Web Application. It resides in the .NET directory. On my machine it is: C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\CONFIG Try searching your hard-drive for machine.config. This file contains <customErrors mode="RemoteOnly"/> by default. Anyway this file (machine.config) is taken into account only when you do not have web.config, so it is unlikely source of your problem. Also check web.config that provides settings for your application. Maybe you have multiple <customErrors> nodes. They might override their settings.

Bob Lehmann > in my web.config it is OK: Off > [quoted text clipped - 58 lines] > > > </system.web> > > > </configuration Are you sure that the web.config is in a directory marked as an Application or a Virtual Directory in IIS ? If it is not, the web.config in the root directory, or the settings in machine.config, will decide whether custom errors will be displayed. The default setting for custom errors in asp.net 1.1 is : <customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" /> The possible settings are : On : Always display custom errors Off : Always display *ASP.NET* error pages ( Notice: this does *not* mean that no error messages will be displayed. It means that ASP.NET error messages will be displayed. RemoteOnly : Display custom errors to remote clients and ASP.NET errors to localhost It could very well be ( in fact it probably is ) that you're seeing an ASP.NET error message, and not a *custom* error page being displayed. btw, in IE, do you have "Show friendly HTTP error messages" selected in "Tools", "Internet Options", "Advanced" ?

As it is hosted, I can't see if they did it OK, unfortunately. > It could very well be ( in fact it probably is ) > that you're seeing an ASP.NET error message, > and not a *custom* error page being displayed. I know the error message, my hoster forwarded it to me. It is a message that says that the sql-server cannot be found. So there was a problem in my connection string. That is solved. But I would like to understand why I couldn't see the error. > btw, in IE, do you have "Show friendly HTTP error messages" > selected in "Tools", "Internet Options", "Advanced" ? No. If I generate the same error on my testing server, I can see the error. Conclusion: I think the problem situates itself at the hoster. Must be some virtual directory thing. Thx a lot!

[quoted text clipped - 79 lines] > > </system.web> > > </configuration It sounds like you are accessing the page remotely and not locally. Doing so will also cause this to happen. I believe there is something along the lines of remoteerrors in the web.config that you have to turn on. natural cures, I made an erro on the application natural cures, I made an error on the application I'm not sure whether this problem is related to what I had, but still I'm sharing it over here. On one of my production server my application was throwing exception from Application_OnStart event but it was not getting displayed in the browser window. In the end I had to capture this error in Application_OnError event and that solved my problem. This happened with .NET 1.1. > Although in my web.config I have <customErrors mode="off" /> I still get no > detailed errors.
