Could someone set me straight on the web.config file? Is this file required? What if I don't include it in the site? Does it use default settings? <BR><BR>I'm trying to run a simple 'Hello World' aspx file on my ISP, but it tells me that there is an error, but for security reasons it can't show the error msg. It tells me upload the following setting in the web.config file.: <BR><BR><customErrors mode="Off"/><BR><BR>I do that, but get the same msg as above. Is my web.config file just not being recognized?<BR><BR>Thanks for any help/comments on the web.config file. My ASP.NET books don't seem to cover it.the web.config file needs to be placed in your application's root directory. if you don't have your app set up as a virtual directory, you need to place it in the wwwroot directory. also, the web.config file follows a very specific naming scheme and structure in the code. make sure you're formatting the code EXACTLY right.<BR><BR>see this article for more info on the web.config file:<BR>http://aspnet.4guysfromrolla.com/articles/053102-1.aspx
