You set

C#

<customerrors mode="off"></customerrors>

A brief explaination for CustomErrors mode:

Quote:
There are three error modes in which an ASP.NET application can work:

1) Off Mode
2) On Mode
3) RemoteOnly Mode

The Error mode attribute determines whether or not an ASP.NET error message is displayed. By default, the mode value is set to "RemoteOnly".
Off Mode

When the error attribute is set to "Off", ASP.NET uses its default error page for both local and remote users in case of an error.
On Mode

In case of "On" Mode, ASP.NET uses user-defined custom error page instead of its default error page for both local and remote users. If a custom error page is not specified, ASP.NET shows the error page describing how to enable remote viewing of errors.
RemoteOnly

ASP.NET error page is shown only to local users. Remote requests will first check the configuration settings for the custom error page or finally show an IIS error.

Please change your mode to the proper one.

Good luck,
