Server Error in '/library/errorpages' 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>

Thanks for the instructions -- I had the same experience as Smackowv
yesterday.

BTW it says: Manage Your Profile not Edit on my view and it's a link
hidden way down so that you have to scroll to see it. Not good web
design!

My question -- how do I change the email address to one of the nospam
versions? I can enter the modified form but since they say they will
send an email to validate it I won't get the email.

What do people do? Leave a valic email address there but alter the
address in the, in my case, Off Line Reader they use?

Hugh:

When you click on the ' change profile button' it
will allow you to change anything.

As far as your concerned, the 'notification e-mail'
is kept secret by MS, and they will supply you with
a so-spam address sent to your 'notification e-mail'
which should be a *real* e-mail address.

Hope this helps !

Could you say that again <g> I registered long before VISTA and I don't
remember any anti-spam address but I may be wrong.

 

[Guest]

I tried your fix, it's not working for me. I'm using Vista. Any ideas?

Maybe it doesn't update retroactively.
