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.
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
You need to adjust the web.config in the IIS path… c:\inetpub
Make sure you get the correct virtual root for the SharePoint web application.
Should be something like “C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\portal.abcco.com80”.
As a side note, there is a heap of very important steps that you need to do before installing SharePoint. If you just ran SharePoint from the installer, chances are you are going to regret it.
As Vlad mentioned, review ULS logs (try using ULSViewer.exe). That is usually the best place to start.
