Hi SharePoint Masters,
I just deployed SharePoint 2013 standard on MS SQL 2012 and Windows Server 2012 Standard.
After provisioning the web application and site collection, I then tried to open it, Below is the error message received.
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.Â
Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on the local server machine, 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 “RemoteOnly”. To enable the details to be viewable on remote machines, please set “mode” to “Off”.
Please I need help as I have been on this for the past one week.
I have already set the web config in hive 14 and 15 as custom error = Off.
Thank you
Bisi… Â You need to update the web.config to show errors rather than giving the generic errors. Â I typically use “RemoteOnly” I believe…
By the sounds of it, the user you used to install SharePoint doesn’t have the correct permissions on the database.
You should have a “farm” account and an “install” account. Â
I typically have an “sp_admin” account which I use for general administration and installation. Â Your farm account also has particular permissions.
Have you followed the install instructions from Microsoft to install SharePoint? Â I have used the “Professional SharePOint 2013 Administration” book. Â Good book.
This is the second error I got:
This operation can be performed only on a computer that is joined to a server farm by users who have permissions in SQL Server to read from the configuration database. To connect this server to the server farm, use the SharePoint Products Configuration Wizard, located on the Start menu in Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Products.
This another error I got:

Hi Richard,
What do I adjust in the web.config.Â
Kindly communicate.
Thank you,
Thanks Vlad,
