Runtime Error Thrown as Accessing the Home Page

Have you ever had the following problem:

An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevented the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on local server machine.

To make the details of this specific error message view-able on remote machines, you will need to create a tag within a “web.config” configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application. This tag should then have its “mode” attribute set to “Off”.

This problem is caused by wrong setting for the category. The server is not set to recognize index.php as the default page and thus refuses to load it.
