Server Error in '/' Application

[smajor]

Hello, I'm running NPVR on Win 7. I have never used the web admin with NPVR, although I've been using NPVR for a long time. I enabled it in the previous version of NPVR, gave myself a user/pass, but am receiving the following error. A saw a similar thread, not quite the same error.

I let it be and installed 2.2.6 and still the error remains. I downloaded it from the wiki and replaced the contents of the web directory with the download. Still the same. Any ideas?

Code:

Server Error in '/' Application.
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>

Ah, more info after I adjusted the custom error settings. Ideas?

Can you post the web.log when this error occurs....should be in the logs directory of your NPVR data.....also your config-web.xml file in the npvr data directory. Looking at this it appears your web.config may be corrupt.

[smajor]

Sure, the system is in use right now, so I'll grab those tomorrow. If I delete the config-web.xml, will it be recreated with defaults? I really haven't done anything with it so I won't lose anything custom.

[UncleJohnsBand]

Yes....if you delete the web-config.xml it will be recreated with all the defaults. To be safe....just rename it and see what happens.

[smajor]

Yup, renamed and everything works great. Then deleted the corrupted one.

Thanks!

I get that error from time to time too.
Can I clarify - do I delete web-config.xml in C:\Users\Public\NPVR or web.config in C:\Users\Public\NPVR\Web ?

[smajor]

This one: C:\Users\Public\NPVR\

That fixed it for me.

[UncleJohnsBand]

Yup, renamed and everything works great. Then deleted the corrupted one.

Thanks!

Excellent!

Hmmm I don't seem to have a web-config.xml at all?

There is a config-web.xml => is this the correct one?

If not how do I recreate it?
