Hope that helps someone out there and saves a few hours of hair-pulling. share|improve this answer edited Sep 2 '11 at 18:44 Community♦ 1 answered Dec 9 '08 at 12:55 Ronan Good point. It's best to turn retail mode back to true when you've finished however (or turn off debug mode in web.config, which will be annoyance on your development machine). See weblogs.asp.net/lasse/archive/2009/04/28/… –Stephen Kennedy Feb 28 '12 at 12:42 This seems to be a default setting in .NET 4.0 - I had the same trouble figuring it out. Agree that it's a good setting to use in a production environment, but seeing the REAL error is very important when debugging. –Jeremy Dec 19 '12 at 14:48 add a comment| Did you find this question interesting?

Turn Off CustomErrors? ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ Meet2November 1, 200710 0 0 0 This week I got an interesting issue altogether. One of my customers was unable to turn off
Customerrors Redirectmode
the CustomErrors at all. We checked all the web.config files in hierarchy
Customerrors Defaultredirect
including the web.config and machine.config in C:\WINNT\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\CONFIG. All files had an entry , purposefully addedto avoid this behavior. web.config show errors But we were still getting below message whenever any exception comes up β Server Error in ‘/Test' Application. ----------------------------------------------------- Runtime Error Description: An application http://stackoverflow.com/questions/101693/customerrors-mode-off error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed. Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on the local server machine, please create a tag within a "web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application. This https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/amitsh/2007/11/01/why-i-am-not-able-turn-off-customerrors/ tag should then have its "mode" attribute set to "RemoteOnly". To enable the details to be viewable on remote machines, please set "mode" to "Off". 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 configuration tag to point to a custom error page URL. This message was commonwhile browsing the application onboth client and server. So one thing was for sure that some setting in some config file is turning on the CustomErrors with mode = βonβ. Now customer wanted to see the exception which was coming up. Though ASP.NET 2.0 by default logs it in the event logs, it is not possible for all of the developersto log onto the server and check the event logs. So while troubleshooting this issuewe found the machine.config on the server is bigger than usual size (19KB). So when I checked t

you're not alone. It's surprisingly difficult to do this correctly, not helped by the fact that some errors are handled by ASP.NET and others by IIS. Ideally (and I expect such is the case with some other frameworks/servers) we would just configure our custom error pages in one place and it would just work, no matter how/where the error was raised. Something like: Custom 404 error pages When a resource does not exist (either static or dynamic) we should return a 404 HTTP status code. Ideally we should return something a little friendlier to our site visitors than the error pages built in to ASP.NET/IIS, perhaps offering some advice on why the resource may not exist or providing an option to search the site. For the purposes of this blog post, my custom 404 page is very simple, but you can see some really nice examples here.
404 Page Not Found 404 Page Not Found
I created a new ASP.NET MVC 5 application using the standard template in Visual Studio. If I run the site and try to navigate to a resource that does not exist e.g. /foo/bar, I'll get the standard ASP.NET 404 page with the following information: Server Error in '/' Application. The resource cannot be found. Description: HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its dependencies) could have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. Please review the following URL and make sure that it is spelled correctly. Requested URL: /foo/bar Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:4.0.30319; ASP.NET Version:4.0.30319.33440 Not exactly friendly, is it? In this case the error was raised by ASP.NET MVC because it could not find
