Server Error in '/' Application.

Question

User1628677626 posted

I am new to asp.net and I found someone else with something like my problem. I don't think its a connection problem but I am going to include my connection strings in my .config. If anyone could help that would be awesome.  I was getting errors on <roleManager enabled="true"/> until I moded my connection string then I just get runtime errors. I need to check which .net framework my godaddy site is using and I will post that once I find out.

 

 

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>

I also tried each connection string in the configuration drop down on GoDaddy. I've confirmed that the folder has read/write access and that the tables are in the database with all permissions .... I've been reading that GoDaddy has alot of issues with these starter kit pages?

 

 

Also the error has changed to Server Error in '/SAS' Application

I'm assuming you are trying to get the ClubStarter Kit to work with GoDaddy? If so you need to change your connection string to something like this:

<connectionStrings>

<add name="ClubSiteDB" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" connectionString="DataBaseAddressHere; database=DataBaseName; uid=UserNameHere; pwd=YourPasswordHere"/>

<remove name="LocalSqlServer"/>

<add name="LocalSqlServer" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" connectionString="DataBaseAddressHere; database=DataBaseName; uid=UserNameHere; pwd=YourPasswordHere"/>

</connectionStrings>

Thanks for the reply phamster, I am trying to get it to work with GoDaddy. I tried changing the script but still get the same error. I am not so positive that the error is with my connection. I think it might be making the connection but it won't allow it to run properly. I keep getting the following:

 

Server Error in '/SAS' Application.

I've tried doing the above to revel the error but nothing happens. It still pumps out the same message .... any ideas?

Here are instructions to how to setup the clubstarter kit from beginning to end onto GoDaddy. Hope this helps.

4. Click on ASP.Net runtime and select 2.0
5. Click Databases > SQL Server > Create New Database.
6. Select
   1. Check DSN (optional?)
   2. Enter UserName (this will become the database name NOT your hosting login)
   3. Enter Password (again, database password NOT hosting password)
   4. Check "Install Schema Features"

9. Click Computer icon under actions > record the SQL Connection (.NET) strings
10. Click Open Manager
11. Click Connection > Enter the Username and Password from 6 above.
12. Once connected, expand Tools menu > Click Query Analyzer
13. Cut & Paste all text from club-add.sql into the Query Analyzer window
14. Click Submit (you should see many "command(s) completed successfully" below)
15. Go back to VWD and edit default.aspx
16. Go to Edit > Find & Replace > Quick Replace

    2. Replace with <blank> (nothing, nada, zip, zero)
    3. Look in: Current Document

    1. Events_Edit.aspx
    2. Events_View.aspx
19. Open web.config
    1. Replace original text

       1. <add name="ClubSiteDB" connectionString="Data Source=.\SQLExpress;

                Integrated Security=true;

                AttachDBFileName=|DataDirectory|Club.mdf;

                User Instance=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>

    2. With new text

       1. <add name="ClubSiteDB" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"

                connectionString="ConnectionStringGoesHere;

                database=YourDataBaseNameHere;

                uid=YourUserNameHere;

                pwd=YourPasswordHere"/>

          <remove name="LocalSqlServer"/>

                connectionString="ConnectionStringGoesHere;

                database=YourDataBaseNameHere;

                uid=YourUsernameHere;

                pwd=YourPasswordHere"/>

20. Change <customErrors mode="Off" /> (optional)

21. Save!!!

22. Run CTRL-F5 again.  (it will bring up a window with a server error, what you want is to look in the lower left corner of the VWD window for "Build Successful")

23. Click Website > Copy Web Site > Connect

24. Input your hosting username and password (NOT you database uid and pwd)

25. Highlight all files from the left side and click right arrow to transfer.

29. Copy bracketed response into a text document and include the brackets

30. Reset QA and Input

    1. SELECT UserId FROM aspnet_Users WHERE UserName="username"

    2. Copy each bracketed response to your text document.

    3. Reset QA again and Input

       1. INSERT INTO aspnet_UsersInRoles (RoleId, UserID) VALUES ('copied text from 29', 'copied text from 31')

Aswell as the steps above you should define the membership provider in your web.config and set the applicationname, take a read of
