Trouble getting the ASP.NET error page to appear remotely

I have been developing a web application on a local host and then
using 'Copy Project' to copy all the files up to the ISP location.
When I run the application locally then all is OK. When I run the
application from the ISP site I get an runtime error.
Because the default page does not givem me any indication as to what
the actual problem is, then I change the web.config file using the
recommended custom error tags as follows:
<customErrors mode= "Off" />
This did not result in me getting the detailed page that would have
been displayed at the server on the ISP. So I tried to create a custom
page by creating a HTML file 'mycustompage.htm' and the modifying the
tag to give:
<customErrors mode= "RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="mycustompage.htm" />
But the result is still the default page with no indication of error.
It is as if the application is not reading the web.config file.
The tag above had been entered inside the existing <system.web> tag.
Any help would be appreciated.

Maybe it isn't reading it. Try introducing a syntax error into the
web.config file and see if the syntax error is caught.
Are you sure your ISP has your app set up as an application in IIS?

Trouble with forms authentication

I am trying to password protect a subdirectory using forms authentication. I
am using the "Location" tag to specify the directory to be protected. The
login.aspx page is in the root directory of the app. Here is the web.config:
<location path="Admin">
<system.web>
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms name="authAdmin" loginUrl="Login.aspx" protection="All" timeout="30">
<credentials passwordFormat="Clear">
<user name="Admin" password="pass"/>
<user name="Ashlyinn" password="pass"/>
</credentials>
</forms>
</authentication>
<authorization>
<deny users="?"/>
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>
The problem is event if I put in the proper valid credentials authorization
fails.
Any suggestions?
Thanks, Justin.Hey Justin,

getting the appropriate resources?
That means is he authenticated?

No, the user is not authenticated at all, meaning it goes to the else
statement in the code below no matter what:
private void Login_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
if (FormsAuthentication.Authenticate(Email.Text, Password.Text))
{
FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage(Email.Text, false);
}
else
{
lblStatus.Text = "Authentication Failed.";
}
}

Are u sure u have all the right settings?
First check to see whether u have Anonymous Auth checked in IIS.
Got to ur WebServer and right click on ur Virtual Directory of ur
Application >Go to Properties >Directory security TAB> On the Anonymouse
Access and Auth control
click EDIT and make sure u check Anonymous access!
Also make sure u have :- <identity impersonate="true" /> placed in ur
web.config
Try all that!
Let me know if it works for u..if not post ur Question.

Ok, I am getting closer to getting this to work the only problem is that
after loging in it redirects to default.aspx in the root directory instead of
admin/default.aspx.

How do I manualy set redirect url?
