Hi Guys. Pls i need some help. I am having problems with running my applications.

I use Visual Web developer 2005 express edition, to Develop my program/ if i run with the development tool, my program runs well. but when i try running from the localhost or on the Remote Server it gives me this error below


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.

Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on the local server machine, 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 "RemoteOnly". To enable the details to be viewable on remote machines, please set "mode" to "Off".


<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

<configuration>
   <system.web>
       <customErrors mode="RemoteOnly"/>
   </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="On" defaultRedirect="mycustompage.htm"/>
   </system.web>
</configuration>





Pls how can i go about this? I need help pls.

Solutions, would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks in Advance

Your problem can be solved first we have to be sure that certain things are on ground
1. Did u install IIS on that machine?
2. Did u configure ur application to use IIS?
When building a web app u have an option to use the express edition inbuilt cassini , IIS,FTP etc
when next you what ur application to run on IIS try selecting IIS when starting the applications.
if you still have a problem after doing that dont fail to post ur problem

This looks like one of the problems associated with not setting the folder permissions correctly on the server. Certain web.config directives require an application for the directory and in some cases, setting execute permissions to 'Scripts and Executables.'

Do you have any access to changing these on the server your app is hosted?

By the way, what tool do you use?
