“An unexpected error has occurred” in Windows SharePoint Services 3.0
Last time, I saw an error “An unexpected error has occurred” on sharepoint, but except this message, it doesn’t give any other valuable information.
To obtain details of error message, you need to change a single entry in web.config, by modifying the line…
<SafeMode MaxControls=“200“ CallStack=“false“…
to…
<SafeMode MaxControls=“200“ CallStack=“true“…
You will also need to set custom errors to ‘Off’ .
<customErrors mode=“Off“/>
You will no longer see the “An unexpected error has occurred” error page and instead you get a lovely ’standard ASP.Net error page’ with the stack trace and everything.
