Server Error in '/' Application

[Fred Flintstone]

I really hate this error.

I have an asp.net web application that reports the error:

Server Error in '/' Application.

And then proceeds to tell me to turn custom errors off. It is off.
And the application folder is defined as an application. The error
message says I can see the real messages if run on the local machine.
The web browser on the local machine returns this same generic error
also. No detail.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

re:

The error message says ...

Would you quote the *exact* error message ?

There's several reasons for the "Server Error in '/' Application" error to crop up.
The rest of the error message determines how to troubleshoot it.

In the meantime, make sure your web.config has this line at the top :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
