Hi all. I have the same problem as another guy on here - my web.config setting for customerrors is not working. It works fine on my local machine. I don't understand what Rune Sørensen meant by "The Web.Config referenced in TellBob isn't copied to the web servers becasuse it is set as an embedded resource. " Can anyone shed any light? Thanks!

My actual problem is db related, I think. But I can't see the error to debug.

   Hi Sharon,

   I was referring to the "Build Action" property for the file - you can see whether your property is set to "Content" as it should be, by right-clicking the web.config file in Visual Studio and selecting "Properties".

   Not sure that's the issue in this case though - let me know if it doesn't help you.

   Thanks,
   Rune

   Yes, it is set to "Content".
   

   Any other suggestions? Please keep in mind that I can see errors on my local box just fine. Thanks!

   Can you invite [email blocked] as a collaborator, then I can take a look at your app.

   Done. Please note - the page I'm expecting to work is the "Readings" page. The login page is not really implemented yet.

   So your your application is http://tellbob.apphb.com/ correct? If I hit that url, I get a Yellow-Screen-of-Death (not a custom error page) showing a Telerik.OpenAccess error. That would mean that you have succeeded in setting customErrors to false.

   Let me know if this doesn't resolve your query.

    No, my app is GeigerCrowd...I don't know the other person, but he apparently had a similar problem that is now resolved.

    Your web.config transformations are somehow incorrectly specified. It works if the customerrors element is placed in the main web.config: http://geigercrowd.apphb.com/ReadingPoints

    Maybe it did not work originally because the customerrors was not placed in the master web.config and the Replace transform requires the element be there to start with.
