I keep getting 'Sorry but a server error has occurred'

Hey Joe,

For someone reason I keep getting the following error on 'www.lakeshoregardens.org' and I just can't find a problem. 

When I try to upload a document or just visit the documents page.

Please help, error message below:


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.

Re: I keep getting 'Sorry but a server error has occurred'

Hi, are you running in medium trust? I'm seeing a lot of errors that say "this error is expected when running in Medium trust or lower". Later, there is a file permissions error that looks like it's coming from NeatUpload. However, per this page of the documentation, I don't think NeatUpload is supposed to be used when running in medium trust.

So my guess is that if you are in medium trust you need to modify your Web.config as per the above link; or if you are running in full trust you need to fix permissions on your data and/or app_data directories as documented here.

Disclaimer: I'm not an expert on running in medium trust, just trying to help out, for what it's worth. This may give you a place to get started until someone more qualified takes a crack at this. cool

Re: I keep getting 'Sorry but a server error has occurred'

Jamie, you are correct, I do run all my sites in a medium trust world, however I just now started to have this problem, this site and others have been up for some time now.

I am using the medium trust web.config file that was supplied.  And I just looked in the web.config and there is a great deal of neatupload items that are not commented out.

So, I'm a little lost so if there is a document I can look at the tells me which lines to comment out, i will.

I did find the following in the web.config and it's still commented out, I did not change that at all.

<!-- Comment the this out if running in Medium Trust
<add name="UploadHttpModule" type="Brettle.Web.NeatUpload.UploadHttpModule, Brettle.Web.NeatUpload" />
-->

Now I did find the following and I believe it means that the line under the statement should be commented out, which I just did:

<!-- comment this out out if running in Medium Trust -->
<add name="CultureHelperHttpModule" type="mojoPortal.Web.CultureHelperHttpModule, mojoPortal.Web" />

 

Plus I found the following and I'm really not sure what to comment out:

<!-- comment this out out if running in Medium Trust -->
<add name="CultureHelperHttpModule" type="mojoPortal.Web.CultureHelperHttpModule, mojoPortal.Web" />
<add name="ScriptModule" type="System.Web.Handlers.ScriptModule, System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral,

PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" preCondition="managedHandler" />

Re: I keep getting 'Sorry but a server error has occurred'

Hey Joe,

I also put this in the install help forum, but wanted to reply here also.  I upgraded www.lakeshoregardens.org to the latest code.  As far as I can tell the upgrade worked but now my layout is not working correctly.  I missing header designs on my right column and the back is off.  Something is very odd.

Also, I made sure I visited all the areas in the config file for medium trust and I still have the issue where I'm unable to upload documents.

Now, the odd thing, I have a new test site up and working (different client) and I upgrade that site and everything worked great, including the uploads.

Please Please HELP me on this one.  I can't have my client's site looking bad.

Thanks,

Mark

Re: I keep getting 'Sorry but a server error has occurred'

It is very easy to solve medium trust configuration if you just follow the simple steps listed here:

http://www.mojoportal.com/mediumtrust.aspx

we include a Web.mediumtrust.config file that is already configured correctly for medium trust you just need to rename it as indicated in the documented steps.

Re: I keep getting 'Sorry but a server error has occurred'

Joe,

Thank you for the replies...  I have followed all the steps for Medium Trust, and used the medium trust config and updated it for my items.  And I'm still having an upload issue with the one site.  I'm at my wits end trying to find out why.

I have one site that works and one site that does not.  The site that does not work is 'www.lakeshoregardens.org', when I go to the documents page when login as a admin that can upload documents I get the 'Server Error' page.  The following is from the log when I try to access the documents page:

Re: I keep getting 'Sorry but a server error has occurred'

The App_Data folder is not writable by the web process, you need to correct the permissions on that folder.

Re: I keep getting 'Sorry but a server error has occurred'

Hey Joe,

Just checked it does have write access 775 on all folders and files.

Re: I keep getting 'Sorry but a server error has occurred'

Sorry but I think not regardless of what it says, the error is clearly about the temporary location where uploaded files are uploaded. If App_Data is writable it will upload under App_Data/NeatUpload_Temp, if it is not then it will try to use the windows temp folder and it causes this permissions error.

People have reported this issue many times.

Maybe get some help from your host if you are not able to get the file permissions set as needed from your web control panel.
