Hey Carl

How are things going my friend?

All is well here.

Hey listen, I just began working to set up a VineType site for a client with my Pro license.

Their hosting is with www.godaddy.com

I have everything in place, but I cannot get the ASP.NET application to open. I get a generic runtime error message of "Server Error in '/' Application."

(I have a Web.Config file set up like the error message says to do it, but I still don't see detailed .NET errors on my remote machine.)

I created a simple test page called test.aspx, to see if I could get a VB function to work, and it works:

http://www.lifeinfocusgroup.com/test.aspx

But when I try to access the VIneType application (.NET) at this location:

http://www.lifeinfocusgroup.com/default.aspx

I get the above mentioned generic runtime error message of "Server Error in '/' Application."

I don't know if you can give me any tips on this, but I thought I would ask.

TO ALL:

Does anyone know what versions of .NET are supported on GoDaddy's Windows-based servers?

Thanks if anyone can give any advice or tips.

Hi Doug.

Interesting debugging question so I thought I'd go to a website that provides the response header information for websites and this is what your site responds with:
 

    Requesting: http://www.lifeinfocusgroup.com/default.aspx
    GET /default.aspx HTTP/1.1
    Connection: Keep-Alive
    Keep-Alive: 300
    Accept:*/*
    Host: www.lifeinfocusgroup.com
    Accept-Language: en-us
    Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
    User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0b; Windows NT 6.0)

   Server Response: 500 Internal Server Error
    Date: Tue, 06 May 2008 19:24:09 GMT
    Server: Microsoft-IIS/6.0
    X-Powered-By: ASP.NET
    MicrosoftOfficeWebServer: 5.0_Pub
    X-AspNet-Version: 1.1.4322
    Cache-Control: private
    Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
    Content-Length: 3026

Fortunately, it's able to report even when there's an error, that it is serving up .NET 1.1

So that seems to be the problem.  I'd really like a way for Vine Type itself to detect this and report back with some sort of "Vine Type needs .NET 2.0" message but I don't think that is possible because my code never gets called in these situations.

Once again, U Da Man.

Thanks friend.

So, all I need to do is get GoDaddy.com to up the ASP.NET service to 2.0.

Thanks again.

Sorry and thanks. What bewilders me even more is that servers with .NET 2.0 installed can run both .NET 1.1 and .NET 2.0 applications side-by-side.  .NET 3.5 has already been released and a service pack is in beta, so I don't know what GoDaddy is waiting for.  Let me know how this turns out.
