Re: not working: <customErrors mode="Off"/>

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

well if the error is parsing the config file, then you can turn error reporting on with the web config.

I made the above change to my web.config file so that errors would be reported from a remote site as explained in the Server Error:
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".

OK, this had no effect. I verifed the change to web.config did take place.

I can publish my project to my own localhost IIs, to another system running its own XP IIS.

I can even publish a FP2003 (non- aspx) app to the server that has the problem and it runs fine. I cannot get an error message from the server indicating the problem. I am publishing using local file as in \\servername\acqlib and attempting to run page using http://servername/acqlib/default.aspx

OK - to make a long story short, I got the administrator to run the page while logged onto the system and it gave an error at:
<configuration xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/.NetConfiguration/v2.0";>



This indicates the server is not running dotnet 2.0 Admin is looking into installing dotnet 2.0 on the server.



My question: Why didnt that error message show up where I could figure out the problem myself?
