I'm running my app on shared hosting.
When I run the latest changes on my dev server, everything works fine - When I upload, I see the generic "Error occured but isn't being shown" message.
If I change my web.config to include
CustomErrors mode="off"
then I still see the same error message.
I'm guessing that one of my recent changes is causing an issues when web.config is being parsed.
Is there any way I can retrieve the details of this error? The only ways I'm aware of are Event log and server logs - neither of which I have access to.
Many thanks in advance for any help
Here's the code to save everyone else some time in future. Will format the exception details and mail it. Add a Global.asax if it doesn't exist. then update the Application_Error method.
Sub Application_Error(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
' Code that runs when an unhandled error occurs
Dim ex As Exception = Server.GetLastError().GetBaseException()
Dim ErrMsg As New Text.StringBuilder
While ex IsNot Nothing
ErrMsg.AppendLine(String.Format("Message : {0}", ex.Message))
ErrMsg.AppendLine(String.Format("Source : {0}", ex.Source))
ErrMsg.AppendLine(String.Format("Target : {0}", ex.TargetSite.ToString))
ErrMsg.AppendLine("Stack: ")
ErrMsg.AppendLine(ex.StackTrace)
If ex.InnerException IsNot Nothing Then
ex = ex.InnerException
ErrMsg.AppendLine(">> Inner Exception >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>")
Else
ex = Nothing
End If
End While
Try
Dim Message As New System.Net.Mail.MailMessage
Message.Body = ErrMsg.ToString
Message.Subject = "MPW Error"
Message.To.Add(New MailAddress("[email protected]"))
Dim SMTP As New SmtpClient
SMTP.Send(Message)
Catch FatalEx As Exception
'Write to file, die or re-throw
End Try
End Sub
