IIS Configuration :: Web Config Error - It Could However Be Viewed By Browsers Running On Local Server Machine
Jun 5, 2013
When I run my application I got this error
Server Error in '/POD/POMLNT' 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".
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.
I am loading the config file programaticality so that i can edit it but ive hit a hitch in that when i debug it through VS i get the following error:
An error occurred loading a configuration file: Failed to map the path '/'.
My code is:
[Code]....
I use it in other sections of my site and know that it works as intended when it is deployed to my webhost. I am having issues with another section where I use it so I want to step through it to debug, what do I change this "~" to, to correctly reference the config when I am debuging locally.
With the project I'm working right now, the team and I don't believe the network/computer policies will allow us to create and save Excel files on a local machine through the Web pages we're building. Well, let me clarify. When we run our web pages on our development machines, when we go to save information to excel through the web page, it uses our local excel executable. However, we want it to use the web server's excel executable. When we run the website, we're running individual local copies because we don't have a web server to test on, so we can't verify if it will use the Web Server's or ours. Does anyone know what it will do, or if it has to be programmatically set a specific way to use excel on the web server, and not on the local machine. Once we get the Web Server to use excel, we'd save the file to a network share that would allow the user to view the file.
i developed an asp.net web site and i used ModuleRewriter to rename my pages you can refer to this link [URL] and i want to add many pages programatically at run time for example i have a page named :
[URL]styles/defaultstyle/Default.aspx
and i want to display this page like this :
[URL]Default.aspx
so my code was like this :
public static void confgrewriter() { try { RewriterRuleCollection rules = RewriterConfiguration.GetConfig().Rules; RewriterRule r = new RewriterRule(); r.LookFor ="~/Dfealut.aspx" ; r.SendTo ="~/styles/defaultstyle/Default.aspx"; rules.Add(r); } catch (Exception ex) { } }
and this solution is working very good on iis at my local machine but when i did upload this website on shared host i recive error message: The resource cannot be found.
Description:
HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its dependencies) could have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. review the following URL and make sure that it is spelled correctly.
while running my aspx pages on local iis 5.1 of my system, it doesnot shows the images and also when i tried to login with the same credentials that i was using with visual studio2005 it always give me error of wrong credentials
I have had a real nightmare with Server.MapPath(). When I call Server.MapPath("~") in my application that is running in ASP.NET Development Server it returns root directory that ends in a back slash like f:projectsapp1, but I call it in published version, installed in IIS, it returns root directory without any back slash like c:inetpubwwwrootapp1.
string mainRoot = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~"); DirectoryInfo di = new DirectoryInfo(mainRoot); //added to solve this problem with Server.MapPath if (!mainRoot.EndsWith(@"")) mainRoot += @""; FileInfo[] files = di.GetFiles("*.aspx"); foreach (FileInfo item in files) { string path = item.FullName.Replace(mainRoot, "~/").Replace(@"", "/"); //do more here }
How do I get the smtp server address for the local machine? I want to my email address on a windows form and have the user send me an email and I need to be able to get their smtp server address programatically to do this. I tried this:
System.Net.Mail. SmtpClient smtpc = new SmtpClient("127.0.0.1"); smtpc.Send(email);
i got the below error while running an application on IIS server. Error 167 It is an error to use a section registered as allowDefinition='MachineToApplication' beyond application level. This error can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an application in IIS. E:iaeciaecWeb.config 48 .
I have to host an asp.net that user can access that website something like http://111.11.11.11/myapp/homepage.aspx. ( my ip address will be 111.11.11.11). All I have local IIS installed. I want that if any user clicks on the link. He should be able to access that web application.
Here is my problem: I have created a login form on my local machine. I have tested it on the local machine and it works fine. But when I push it to production it doesn't work.
I set-up the web config file so that the system uses the production database even from my local machine. I used the Web > AspNet Configuration tool in Visual Web developer to add a user to the production database. I used Sql studio management studio to confirm that the user was in the production database and not just on a local database. I have removed all references to the local database. I even deleted the entire app_data folder on my machine so that there was no chance that I am using a local database.
To create the login, I dragged a login component onto my Login.aspx page from the toolbar in visual web developer.
Why can I log in just fine on my local machine, but when push everything to production and I try to log in as that user I get the error message "Your login attempt was not successful"
I am developing a website in ASP.NET. I wanted to know how can I give a static path to my website on my local mahcine such that it will always be deployed on port number. For eg: in php, the path can always be http://localhost/websitename
but in ASP.NET, whenever, I debug the website for testing, it is always deployed to a new port number. This prevents me from testing my script which can only be given a static name in Greasemonkey.
I have connection strings info in web.config. I thought that if this were the case, machine.config would be ignored. But, everytime the connection string in web.con is different than the connection string in maching.con, I get error. The connection name 'aspnetdbConnectionString' was not found in the applications configuration or the connection string is empty. Is there something I can check or change to get the app to ignore the machine.config when web.config connection string is listed.
We have a large multi tenanted website which requires thousands of lines of web.config to support it. As the system grows we are finding it more and more difficult to manage this configuration file.The system currently in place uses XSLT to generate the config but this solution seems to involve a lot of duplicated code (we have 12 deployment environments).
I am leaning towards putting the configuration data in the db so we can be sure that it's deployed with the application and that our release notes don't require the IT guys messing around with XML
We have a problem regarding decrypting the web.config... We encrypted the web.config in computer A. but we need it to decrypt it in computer B.
we got an error
"Failed to decrypt using provider 'DataProtectionConfigurationProvider'. Error ssage from the provider: Key not valid for use in specified state. (Exception om HRESULT: 0x8009000B) (D:WCFSearchweb.config line 17)
Key not valid for use in specified state. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8009000B) Failed!"
we also tried the RSAProtectedConfigurationProvider and we're not able decrypt also...
I search google and found this unfortunately we can't decrpyt it... How do i include the key? do i need to copy and paste it?
This error never happens before in my machine since 7 months of using it. [:(]
"There was an error while enumerating services on local machine: Active Directory Services cannot find the web server. A possible cause for this is an incompatibility between versions of Internet Information Server (IIS) on the client and the server. Another possible cause is that IIS is not installed on the local machine, or the user identity under which you are running may not have permissions to view websites on this machine. To view websites on this machine, make sure that you run Visual Studio as administrator. On Windows Vista computers with IIS installed, make sure that IIS Metabase and IIS 6 configuration compatibility feature is enabled."
I'm trying to add back a webservice (localhost) after deletion. And suddenly I'm getting the above error.[:(]
The error's suggested tip is to install IIS but I did not install IIS since then in my machine because VS2010 built-in server do just fine. Should I install IIS?
I also found this helpful tips but nothing works. [:(]
* Run Visual Studio with elevated administrator permissions * Be a member of the "Administrators" group on the local machine * Right-click the Visual Studio icon and select the "Run as administrator" option from the context menu.
I have a Windows Service I have developed in Visual Studio 2005 (C#).
It accesses a database using a connection string in machine.config.
On my Windows XP Pro 32bit (SP3) machine, it works correctly.
On my new Windows 7 Pro 64bit machine, it throws "object not set to an instance of an object" when it gets to the line where it's trying use the connection string.
This is the 'object' which is not set in Windows 7:
The machine.config has the same connection string set up on both machines.
A .Net 2 website transferred to the Windows 7 machine has no problem accessing the same connection string.
I have tried a bunch of different permissions on the machine.config and its containing folders, and setting the service to log in as Admin, but I don't know exactly what permissions are required.
