Server Error in '/' Application

Question

User1897947668 posted

I'm having difficulty designing a single web page and uploading it to my server.

In Visual Web developer Express 2008, I opened "New Web Site"... "ASP.NET Web Site". In the design window I type in "hello world" and then I click on "Build"..."Build Page". I upload default.aspx to my file manager at Godaddy and try to open the page. I get "Server Error in '/' Application.... run time error

Does anyone have any idea why I can't do this one simple thing?

Thanks,

Dave

when uploading file, include web.config and other files also. Make sure your application and godaddy using same net version.

What's the rest of the error?  Does it work when debugging locally?

OK. I uploaded the default.aspx.vb file and the web.config file and now it appears to work.

I  did this before with a different .aspx page and I didn't have to upload these files then. What the difference now?

 

Thank you,

Dave

Thanks for your reply. I seem to have sorted this out. I forget what the rest of the error was. And yes, it worked fine when debugged locally. There wasn't much to it. Just "hello world".

For deploying a website on a server, always publish a website in release mode and then upload the aspx and dll on server. Please do not put the aspx.vb file directly on server.

Also, always put web.config for the website.

Hi,

You can deploy to a target computer using any connection protocol that is supported by Visual Web Developer. Use FTP to copy to a server.

Take a look at this article MSDN document to learn how to deploy a website with Visual Web Developer. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/1y1404zt(VS.100).aspx

In addition, you could also contact your hosting provider to get troubleshooting.
