Runtime error on server on published website

deskcheck1-0579 411

After publishing my website using Web Deploy I get this error message: "Server Error in '/' Application." My web.config file already contains this tag:

How can I view where the error is coming from? There is no error when I run it in Visual Studio on my development machine. Error only shows on the server.

Appreciate any help.

Hi @deskcheck1-0579,

to see the error, set the following.

<system.web>
   <customErrors mode="Off"/> 
</system.web>

setting customErrors to RemoteOnly indicates, the actual error only displays locally, means when you browse the site with in the server, you will see the error. if you switch off the customErrors, you will see the actual error always.

Hope this helps
