VS2003 new web project

[Neven Klofutar]

Hi,

Can anyone tell me what exactly happens when VS2003 creates new web project,
what kond of permission it creates and where ... I can see that by default,
it tries to make new virtual directory on c:\inetpub\wwwroot.

When I deploy a web project on server my admin created for me (manualy, not
using VS2003 of course), I can't see detailed error on this new server (I
can see detailed error on local machine), and no matter what I change in my
web.config it doesn't seems to help.

Maybe the permission are not correctly set, what must I do ?

Thanx, Neven

The permissions won't affect this kind of behavior. There are tweaks in the
web.config to actually cause this exact behavior and avoid users of your
server from seeing errors.

Make sure that the customErrors mode is set to Off, that way it will always
show errors for you.

Better yet though may be to simply enable tracing and set the localonly
attribute to false so you can get to the trace.axd page in the web. Then you
can view the trace log which will also show the error that was thrown.

Hope this helps,
