Browser Error Handling for mod_mono (cPanel) and .aspx pages (Enkompass)

[Miraenda]

In order to have aspx pages show their errors in a browser, you would need to add a web.config file to the application location (so /home/username/public_html/web.config file if the aspx page is in that location for mod_mono), then add the following content to that file:

mod_mono web.config

<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

<configuration>
    <system.web>

        <customErrors mode="Off" />
    </system.web>
</configuration>

For Enkompass, the path will normally be C:\Users\cPanel\deathcal\public_html where C:\ is the drive location for the user.

Enkompass web.config

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
    <system.webServer>
        <handlers accessPolicy="Read, Execute, Script" />
            <defaultDocument>
                <files>
                    <clear />
                    <add value="index.aspx" />
                </files>
            </defaultDocument>
    </system.webServer>
    <system.web>
        <customErrors mode="Off" />
    </system.web>
</configuration>

This shuts off custom errors and then outputs them into the browser to view for the failing page. For the Enkompass configuration, I also have it showing the defaultDocument (DirectoryIndex) as index.aspx for the site to set the main page.

Of note, if you have a failing aspx page for mod_mono, all pages on the site (even working test pages) will fail under mod_mono. So ensure to move the failing aspx page outside of the folder if you need other aspx pages on the site to function.
