How to Disable ASP.NET Custom Errors in Web.config
You have created an asp.net webpage and have uploaded it onto a
webserver. However when you try to view the page remotely, you got errors about
the customerror tag in the web.config file.
The page works locally with no errors or warnings. Also if you upload
the page as a .html file, I can view it fine remotely. I have seen a lot of
other people with this error, but the 'solutions' just say to change the
customErrors tag to 'Off', which you have done and does not work, do you know
is there an issue with the webserver or what could be the problem here?
Many times during the processing of an ASP.NET application, you
will get the following default runtime error
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 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".
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>

Solution:
This is a generic error generated by ASP.NET When
customErrors are set to ON. To resolve this issue, create a web.config
Change From
<customErrors
mode="On"/>
To
<customErrors
mode="Off"/>
Details Written as Below
<configuration> <system.web> <customErrors mode="Off"/> </system.web> </configuration>
