What did they tell you to add? Is this a 'trust' issue, e.g.

Mohammad Al Hoss 27-Feb-11 4:20am

They asked to update thses sections
CUSTOMERRORS mode="Off"
COMPILATION debug="true"
HTTPERRORS errormode="Detailed"
asp scriptErrorSentToBrowser="true"
They told me that the problem is in my web.config, note that the application is wroking well on my PC

R. Giskard Reventlov 27-Feb-11 4:26am

So, you made the changes they told you to make and it still didn't work? Try stripping the file back to bare bones against a minimal site.

Mohammad Al Hoss 27-Feb-11 4:29am

Can you explain more please.

R. Giskard Reventlov 27-Feb-11 4:35am

Create a one page site thathas a web.config that has only the barest of entries and see if that works. Have GoDaddy said that they know what the problem and jsut aren't telling you?

Mohammad Al Hoss 27-Feb-11 4:41am

They renamed the file and the site worked well, so they said the problem is form the web.config but they did not say which part of the file.
my site URL is "http://www.mohammadalhoss.com/" note that it is a one file application it only holds default.aspx

R. Giskard Reventlov 27-Feb-11 5:23am

1: Comming - No! Coming - Yes!
2: If it works then put back one a line at a time form your web.confog till it fails. Then you'll know where the problem was.

Mohammad Al Hoss 27-Feb-11 5:47am

I did that and i worked thanks for your help

R. Giskard Reventlov 27-Feb-11 5:57am

You might want alter your post to say it is fixed and let us know what the problem was in case others have the same issue.

Sandeep Mewara 27-Feb-11 4:23am

Did you talk with Goddady support again?

Mohammad Al Hoss 27-Feb-11 4:28am

Yes I did and they gave me the same answer, just update the web.config.

Solution 2

I replaced the root folder web.config file with this one

<configuration>
  <system.web>
    <compilation defaultlanguage="c#" debug="true" />
  </system.web>
  <appsettings>
    <add key="ConnectionInfo" value="server=(local);database=Northwind;Integrated Security=SSPI" />
  </appsettings>
  <system.webserver>
    <validation validateintegratedmodeconfiguration="false" />
  </system.webserver>
</configuration>

and i did not get the error any more.

Solution 1

It may be problem for IIS 7.0 using the Application Pool integrated pipeline mode.

1) Try this in web.config file.

<system.webServer>
        <validation validateIntegratedModeConfiguration="false" />
</system.webServer>
