Help! 'Server Error' upon istallation

Hi Im new to MojoPortal and just starting learning ASP.net, i have tried lots of ASP script ang seeing some demo/videos, I know MojoPortal fits my interest, how ever i was having difficulty installing to script into my server, i have follow the Installation Guides at: www.mojoportal.com/installation-quick-start.aspx , I have uploaded the files in my web server (Windows), created database, db user name, but still i get this error.

______________________________________________________________________________

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>

Re: Help! 'Server Error' upon istallation

Make sure you have installed .NET 3.5 SP1 and if the machine also has the old 1.1 .NET installed you may need to specify 2.0 .NET in IIS and also you must use a different application pool in IIS for 1.1 app and 2.0 apps (this only matters if you have other apps on the machine running in 1.1 in the default app pool).

Hope it helps,

Joe

Also if you have direct access on this machine you may find error details in the Event Log on the machine.

Re: Help! 'Server Error' upon istallation

Give more details about what you are doing.

Installing at a web host?

Installing on your local machine?

Installing on a machine where you have desktop access?

I'm using a web server installation process?

What does that mean be specific?

Re: Help! 'Server Error' upon istallation

Sorry for that..


What i did is just follow the instruction.

I downloaded the Mojo Script

Unzip the folder

Then, in my web server, I created a new MySQL Database with DB username and password.

Then I edited the web.config file, I enter my webserver name, database ...

the i uploaded all the files under wwwroot to my web server inside the folder simang.co.cc

Thanks,
Inyi
