Please Help

Hi,
I have created one webform1.aspx page on local server (c:\inetpub\wwwroot\mysite\prabodh). it executes without any error. when I upload prabodh folder on the main server in (E:\mysite\prabodh) and i have set the properties for this folder.
Now I am getting the following error when i am trying to access the file from my remote machine.
the error is :
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
when i am trying to access same file from the main server then .
the error is :

And I Gave the local user ASPNET read/excecute permissions to your application directory (E:\web\mysite\prabodh\).

I also made sure that the directory is defined as an application in IIS

can any one tell me why i am getting this message.
Thnx in advance.

Hi,

We have complete ASP.net application in our local web server which was created on vb.net.

Now we want to make this application work in different server , basically hand over this application to another company ?

I am planning to ZIP the folder where my application contains, which includes BIN folder also. And also WEB.CONFIG file.

So, my question is , what are the things i should ask them, whether they have all these ??

As of i know, they should have W2K / XP, IIS , .NET framework .

Please advice me !

Thanks,

NicolRather than thinking along the lines of a "hand over", you might be better considering this a "deployment" of your ASP.NET application.

With that in mind,this MSDN article walks through the deployment of an ASP.NET app to a new server.

This MSDN article talks about deploying and distributing an application.

From a business point of view, you might want to refrain from saying to either your client or the other development company, "This is what you need." If you are wrong (and there are LOTS of things to consider), then they might come back to you and argue, "Yousaid that this is all we need, but it's not!"

You might be better served listing how you developed your application (eg, framework version, language, IIS version and configuration, development environment, database, commercial or free components you used ... that sort of thing). You can tell them, quite honestly, that there is no single "right configuration or environment" they need. Just illustrate what setup *you* used and state, quite reasonably, that you cannot guarantee it will work automatically on any other setup.

As to what you put on the CD, give them everything except any components you purchased. Give them one folder called "WORKING" with all your .vb components before compilation and unflattened photoshop files and so on, and another folder called "AS DEPLOYED" that you simply copy from your Inetpub/wwwroot folder (or wherever the real directory is).

One thing to consider, and I wouldn't presume to advise you on this ... but what about the rights to use the code? If you developed, say, an email component, are you able to use the same code for your next application? Can you use code for "common components" that are not "application-specific"?

Some things to think about, anyway ...
