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
Bisi… You need to update the web.config to show errors rather than giving the generic errors. 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.
I typically have an “sp_admin” account which I use for general administration and installation. Your farm account also has particular permissions.
Have you followed the install instructions from Microsoft to install SharePoint? I have used the “Professional SharePOint 2013 Administration” book. Good book.
