Where is the web.config file?
Where is the web.config file?
- Hello,
I have designed a website using EW3. But while putting it on the server, it is showing me an error. It is asking me to modify web.config file content but I could not find any web.config file in my project. It will be great if someone can help me to fix this problem.
Below is the error detail:
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".
<!-- 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>

- Its say in the details where its located. Look at the root web folder on the server. If its not there, create one.

But there is no web.config file in root web folder. How do we create that? - File -> New
web.config is one of your choices. - web.config is nothing more than a text file. Just create a text file named web.config and use the link below for the minimum contents of the file.
