Thread: An application error occurred on the server Error at GoDaddy.com

I was setting up a shared hosting for a guy he bought at GoDaddy. After uploading the contents I get this error:

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>
I haven't bought the hosting, so went ahead check what he really got on the IIS settings. It was .Net version 1 while his website is developed on .Net 2. The .Net version can be seen on Account Summary at the hosting control panel. As I changed it to .Net 2 everything worked as it should! You might have to do a hard refresh to see the changes.

Wow, thats really weird, gotta be careful about stuff.

there are cheaper ones. quite a few big hosting companies have almost similar pricing.

Hmm, that's definitely ruins their reputation and if more of these occur, they will gradually lose customers...
