mdolfI often get runtime errors (see below for the error), at least a couple times a day, which puts my blog out of commission for at least 5 minutes at a time. I am trying to figure out how to get custom errors to show so I can fix the problem. I have tried everything I could think of and just can't figure this out.
I have installed wp on godaddy on a windows-based hosting plan. Apparently this doesn't support .htaccess (which is what most help forums refer to). Apparently I need to edit a web.config file but godaddy doesn't show the web.config file so apparently I need to create one. I created a web.config.php file on my FTP client with the following text:
<configuration>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="Off"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>Still doesn't work. Can anyone suggest a solution? Thanks very much in advance.
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>'
