encrypted connectionStrings web.config customErrors

[rmgalante@yahoo.com]

I encrypted my connectionStrin gs section with the following command.

aspnet_regiis -pef "connectionStri ngs" "C:\Inetpub\www root
\MyVirtualDirec tory"

It worked and I can see that the connectionStrin gs section in the
web.config file has been encrypted. However, when I run the
application it fails to load and displays a generic error message page
with no details. This page tells me that I need to change my
customErrors section in order to see the error details.

The customErrors section in my web.config file looks like the
following:

<customErrors mode="RemoteOnl y"
defaultRedirect ="GenericErrorP age.htm">
<error statusCode="403 " redirect="NoAcc ess.htm"/>
<error statusCode="404 " redirect="FileN otFound.htm"/>
</customErrors>

The RemoteOnly mode should allow me to see the error locally. I am
running IE 7 locally, but I don't see the stack trace. I changed the
mode to On, and that didn't work either.

So, I am unable to debug this problem because I cannot see any error
details on my server.

Re: encrypted connectionStrin gs web.config customErrors

Have you tried logging in local to the server and running the application
with "on" as the setting? That should work for you. You may also want to
invest in an enterprise logging soluction like the enterprise library.

Thanks for your response. Here is what I do.

I log on locally as an administrator. I launch IE 7. I load the
application's web.config file. I set customErrors as follows.

<customErrors mode="On" />

I rebuild the application and run it. I do not get a stack trace. So I
tried the following.

<customErrors mode="RemoteOnl y" />

I rebuild the application and run it. I do not get a stack trace. So I
tried the following.

<customErrors mode="Off" />

Now, I get the stack trace.

This looks like a bug to me.
