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
Anything in event viewer / ULS logs? the Server Error in ‘/’ Application. is pretty general.. however most of the time SharePoint cant’ acces SQL and you would have event viewer plenty of errors.
So tell us what’s in there 🙂
You need to adjust the web.config in the IIS path… Â 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. Â 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). Â That is usually the best place to start.
