Server Error in '/' Application (Runtime Error)

[walt12]

I was installing MOSS remotely (using remote log-in) and went through the "Setup" and "SharePoint Products and Technologies Congfig Wizard". Near the end of the wizard I get to the Success Page and SHOULD be able to view the SharePoint Central Admin Page but get this error:


"Server Error in '"/" Application RUNTIME ERROR Description: An alpplication error occured on the server. The current custom error setting for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed. Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on the local server machine please create a <customErrors> tag within a web.config file located in teh root directory of the current web application, This <custom error> tag should have its mode attribute set to "Remote Only: To enable the details to be viewable on remote machines please set mode to "off".

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


I went into the web.config file and replaced the "Remote Only" attribute with "Off" but with no success.

There are several web.config files in the SharePoint filesystem, make sure you have the correct one. We did a search on the MOSS/WSS Server for web.config and started to change, save, and IISReset everyone until we hit the right one.
