operating system Win7

database platform MSSQL net 35

MojoPortal version : 2.3.6.4

Hi guys,

I need some help as have followed everything as per the mojPortal documentation for Moving an Installation of mojoPortal to a Different Server

Data base restored, URL structure the same, no temp files,  folder permission done, user and web config done.

We now have everything setup on the new server but can't work out why we keep getting the application runtime error even after we have set the <customErrors mode="Off"/> we still get the following page.

-----

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>

Any advise or help would be appreciated

Hi Joe,

Thank you, will recheck

Should I leave the machine key as is on the original web.config or the use the one that was in my web.config file on the old server?

Thanks

Thanks Joe,

Did as advised now getting following error

We're sorry but a server error has occurred while trying to process your request.

The error has been logged and will be reviewed by our staff as soon as possible. It is possible that the error was just a momentary hiccup and you may wish to use the back button and try again or go back to the home page.

Thank you Joe,

What I meant is I used a original web.config from the deployment folder and changed the string settings. Then ran the setup/default.aspx but got the error to this url path

http://www.mysitename.co.za/Error.htm?aspxerrorpath=/setup/default.aspx 

Will go through the Basic Trouble shooting again, just lost as to what to look for now.

<customErrors mode="Off" -- is set

hosted under .NET 3.5 -- is set correctly

All folder are read/write at the moment

system log is empty

Hi Joe,

Sorry typo (bad Copy & Paste) system log is free of errors other than ERROR mojoPortal.Web.AppKeepAliveTask - System.Net.WebException: The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error.

The /Data and /App_Data folders need to be writeable by the user that is the identity on the application pool. Only one user and all folders are writeable until we can get the site up.

We did not upgrade we backed up both database & file folder system and restored both on new server

<customErrors mode was set <customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="Error.htm"> opps should have changed that did the change and back to original Server Error in '/' Application.

Thanks for the help so far Joe much appreciated
