I have been developing a site on my local machine in asp.net for a while now, and am ready to put it live, but when i try to use the site through the live server i get the following error :



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>


i have already tried changing the value to off (but the page still comes up), but only after i try to use the login control, which makes me think that this is db related, the one which visual studio generates for you with the authoring tool associated with login controls, I dont know what i need to change in order to make the site use the database in the app_data folder, after i have uploaded to the live host.

Thanks.
