Re: error on default.aspx

Hi Roger,

That error is not telling us anything useful. If you change the setting in Web.config to:
<customErrors mode="Off" />
Then it should show a more meaningfull error message.

You may also be able to get the error message from ~/Data/currentlog.config

Hope it helps,

Joe

Re: error on default.aspx

So you are fast!

customError mode="off"  (I already did that, and the above message is the result of mode="off" or mode="RemoteOnly")

the currentlog.config has the create date of the moment I copied it. That date does not change, so I guess the Data directory is not writable

Re: error on default.aspx

> Data directory is not writable

yes and that is the error, or at least an error

Re: error on default.aspx

Now I am confused.

Instead of the error message I mentioned earlier in this post I now get this:

Server Application Unavailable
The web application you are attempting to access on this web server is currently unavailable.  Please hit the "Refresh" button in your web browser to retry your request.

Administrator Note: An error message detailing the cause of this specific request failure can be found in the application event log of the web server. Please review this log entry to discover what caused this error to occur.


The provider moved the website to another server.

I checked that

-ASP.NET 2 is installed

-the DNS record is correct

-the database is working via SQL2005 manager

-all the files are uploaded

-according to the website settings the website has write access

-the webconfig has the correct database login details.

 

Is there something i forget?

Thanks

Re: error on default.aspx

If its not updating ~/Data/currentlog.config then the folder is not writable. If it is writable then you should be able to see the error in currentlog.config

Also your host should see the error in the Application Event Log on the server. Without knowing the error I cannot help, though I am pretty sure the error is that it cannot write to things it needs to write to like the error log, cachedependency files, search index etc.

I know in my hosting environment I use the Plesk control panel but its not dependable to go by folder permissions indicated there.

Hope it helps,
